About

David Lee

Software developer by trade, science fiction writer by inclination - drawn to stories where a single change to the rules rewrites everything downstream.

David Lee

I'm a software developer who merges technical expertise with creative thinking, driven by a love for inclusive design and a dedication to LGBT rights. I grew up gaming and devouring science fiction, and now those imaginative worlds inspire my own writing projects.

Between coding sessions, I'm outlining sci-fi adventures and researching documentary ideas focused on local organizations.

David writes science fiction rooted in big ideas and human consequence. His work is inspired by high-concept storytelling that challenges assumptions about technology, society, and the future. Molecular Revolution grew from a question seldom explored on screen: what happens when scarcity ends?

The work

Three shelves, one question

Science Fiction

The big idea

Post-scarcity technology, biology that rewrites identity, systems that break under their own promises. Molecular Revolution and GenderShift both start with a rule change and follow the human wreckage and hope that come after.

Romance & Urban Fantasy

The body and the city

The Bound by the Circle series takes intimacy seriously as a source of power - queer men, urban magic, and spirits that never really left. Written for adult readers.

Documentary

In research

A documentary project focused on local organizations - the people quietly holding communities together. Early days, and the research is ongoing.

Coffee, code, and a very involved cat

Most of the writing happens early, before the working day starts - a mug of something hot, a quiet house, and an editor who insists on sitting exactly where the keyboard is.

If you'd like to follow along between books, I post work-in-progress notes and release news on Facebook, Instagram and X.
