About Me


R od Lee has been practicing journalism for more than fifty years and continues as a media presence in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, Central Massachusetts and the Blackstone Valley. He is the editor and publisher of a monthly literary journal called TheRambler (Worcester and Central Massachusetts) and writes articles for TheYankee Xpress/Blackstone Valley Xpress based in Webster, Massachusetts.
He is also the author of six books, the latest of which, ForPete’sSake, examines the fateful decision he made to move his family to the Bay State from Binghamton, New York in 1985 and the repercussions that have been felt as a result of that relocation. His fictionalized story of Pete Nash and the Nash family has already been hailed by one reader as “bravely and beautifully told.”
He is presently at work on a novel tentatively entitled HereComestheSun, which focuses on efforts by small-town newspaperman “Mick Lawton” to break “the big story” and finally earn the recognition he so desperately seeks.
