Really good news. I had been looking in vain for the last book in Lee’s series. He did finish it, but it is in longhand, on yellow pads. He always wrote his books in longhand as he felt the computer was too quick for the pace at which he liked to write. I finally found the first chapters in typed form. That will give the editor a reference to help decipher Lee’s handwriting. He worked very hard to finish the book–there are only two remaining and this completes the set. Chalcedon has the other one in manuscript typed and proofed.
I can’t tell you what a blessing it was to find that.
Aside from that good news, my car is still up to its hubcaps in snow. I won’t be getting out of that parking spot for awhile. Again. We just dug out of all that snow a few days ago.
Hopefully, it will warm up fairly quickly (laughs maniacally).
Now for supper and some TV.
God bless everybody.

The best news, I love his books.
I am thrilled at the find.
This is great news. In the context of a tragic loss, this is still a victory; at least the last of his work is preserved. I look forward to its release.
So do I. The books are Ozias,Prince in Peril and Ozias, Prince Enthroned
Keep us posted.
I will.
That is a really great find! Thank you for sharing this update. I had been thinking about Lee’s King Ozias series lately.
Hi Joshua Yes it made me really happy. Chalcedon has the last two books of Lee’s. One is ready to go, and the other has to be typed, proofed and typeset, so it will take a while. That does complete the Ozias part of the series. Patty
That’s very good news. These need to be in print.
If that happens, it will finish that cycle. I hope it can be accomplished.
It deserves to be out there. Lee was a uniquely gifted man, and deserves to be fully published.
I truly hope it comes to pass.
Keep us posted.
I’m really looking forward to reading them when they come out!
Me too!
