About Lee Pulaski

Stories are like potato chips. Lee Pulaski cannot write just one.

Lee’s journey of writing books started in 2006, but his love of writing and reading was born much further back than that. He learned to read at age 3½, a fact his proud mother will tell you anytime and anywhere. That love of reading soon turned into a desire to write, ranging from short stories for school to three-act plays that include one that was produced when Lee was in high school.

Then came the time where Lee felt burnt out from writing, but all it took was a change of atmosphere—specifically the northwoods of Wisconsin. Seeing the sights of the leaves turning colors in early fall made Lee set his sights on doing what he’d never done before—become a published author. A year later, that dream came true with his first novel, The Colors of Love and Autumn. In all, Lee has self-published 25 books.

The motivation for Lee to write a novel was because most of the literature he’d absorbed did not have characters that were like him. Since he couldn’t find stories about two men finding their happily ever after, he chose to provide that himself. At the time, Lee was sadly single, so the books helped to provide form to his dreams of finding a suitable gentleman. Even after finding his sweetheart, Todd, the love stories haven’t stopped.

Among Lee’s other stories are the cozy Zachary Gagewood Mysteries and the occasional fantasy novel, along with a compilation of his blog posts and even a journey back to his roots of play writing.

Even with his relocation to Wisconsin in 2011, part of him remembers his hometown fondly, prompting him to “go home again” and write love stories based in Chino Valley, Arizona. In those stories, Lee seeks to push boundaries with those books, tackling topics like gay fatherhood and coping with family members in the fierce grip of alcoholism, as well as writing about runaway drag queens and furries.

When he finds himself in a rare moment of not writing, he likes to travel around Wisconsin with Todd, checking out street art and out-of-the-way restaurants, among other things, as well as spending some quality time with the latest litter of Australian Shepherd puppies his mother raises.
