Crafting gripping narratives where multifaceted characters face peril with steadfast loyalty, raw emotion, and surprising moments of humor that anchor and shape their identities.

Welcome and thanks for stopping by. I’m Lee Davis Jr, a New Smyrna Beach, FL-based voracious reader turned freshman author. I craft narratives where everyday individuals face impossible situations, the kind that push them to their limits and reveal who they truly are. My work blends edge-of-your-seat tension with genuine human connection, exploring bravery, psychological scars, the tangled web of family, and the pivotal moments that reshape lives.

My forthcoming thriller, Oath of the Osprey, follows a brilliant cultural anthropologist with a near-perfect memory. Douglas Cooper prefers the quiet order of ideas to the chaos of violence. But when his brother is murdered, and a teenage girl vanishes without a trace, he is pulled into a world of trafficking, brutality, and carefully hidden predators who believe they are untouchable.

Driven by guilt, love, and an unshakable sense of obligation, Doug joins forces with an unlikely group of allies as the search spirals from academic curiosity into a deadly race against time. Every step forward peels back another layer of cruelty, revealing a network that trades in human lives and erases its mistakes without remorse.

Oath of the Osprey is a character-driven thriller about memory, trauma, loyalty, and the cost of standing between innocence and evil. It blends psychological tension with grounded realism and explores what happens when an ordinary man is forced to become something far more dangerous.

This novel contains mature themes, violence, and emotional intensity.
