Lee Allen Howard has been a professional writer since 1985 and presently works in the software industry. (Why do fiction writers pretend like they don’t have day jobs? I like to eat just like everyone else!) I also do editing and layout for fitness professionals and psychics in addition to editing fiction and non-fiction projects. I have done book layout and publishing consultancy.
I write horror, erotic horror, dark fantasy, dark crime, and suspense. And technical manuals. All terribly horrifying.
A long time ago I earned a BA in English from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I also received an MA in Biblical Studies from CI School of Theology and an MA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. I am currently studying spiritualism, mediumship, and healing through the Morris Pratt Institute. I am a certified practitioner of Matrix Energetics, a consciousness technology that facilitates personal transformation.
