Hi! I’m Taylor Lee, a psychotherapist in New York  moonlighting as an author.
​

I got my start in 2020 editing fiction for a small press and wrote my first fantasy romance series in 2021. Things pretty much went to hell after that...​I’ll return to my beloved fantasy genre someday, but for now I’ve shifted focus.

​

In 2023, I published a poetry collection exploring grief, substance use, and coming-of-age resilience. In 2025, I released Simon the Silly Snake, a children’s book I wrote for my son that explores empathy, playfulness, and challenging appearance-based bias.

​

My current novel-in-progress, Between the Lines, blends realistic fiction with research. It centers on the grim reality for substance users cycling through New York’s county-level criminal justice systems. When bail laws changed in 2019, overdose risks and recidivism increased. People are losing their lives. Through a neuroscience lens, I see a system that fails to support those in active addiction—and my goal is to highlight these flaws through story and statistics to advocate for meaningful change.
