Jennifer Lee is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins MA Writing Program. Her work has appeared in JMWW, New South, the Bellevue Literary Review, The Greensboro Review, Monkeybicycle, and elsewhere. Her work has won the Maryland Writers’ Association short fiction prize and has been nominated for a Pushcart Award. Her completed novel (mainstream literary fiction), A Presence of Departed Acts, tells the story of Vic McGill, an elderly WWII vet struggling with his past. A second completed novel (science fiction), Prescience, tells the story of a viral contagion aboard a generation ship on its way to a distant planet. Currently Jennifer is hard at work on the remaining two novels of her science fiction project (Prescience, Fortitude, Scion), as well as a centuries-spanning tale set in the Eastern Mediterranean that may involve talking animals. Jennifer lives in Nea Makri, Greece, where she is a freelance science writer.
