: About Me

CJ Lee is a passionate, professional writer whose life experience has served her well. She is a married mother of two who leads the youth group at church and works full-time at a nursing home. She has delivered for a food pantry, taught contact lens classes, preached sermons, substituted in the schools, coached track and soccer, waited tables, directed a day care, created newsletters and bulletins, delivered pizzas, cleaned classrooms, and asked "do you want fries with that." She sings in the choir and plays flute. She loves dance, especially an aerobics class at the YMCA called "Cardio Caliente." She reads voraciously and is currently hooked on John C. Maxwell, although she'd gladly devour a good mystery. She's a big movie buff, especially adventure movies (a la Indiana Jones, Star Wars). She is also passionate about her faith in God and has an opinion on almost everything.
