About Lee Tyers
My name is Lee Tyers. I’m a writer, designer, podcast host, speedway announcer, and lifelong believer in stories with heart, energy, and a sense of legacy.
I live in Poole, Dorset with my fiancée and extended family of four kids. Much of my creative life has grown out of the things I love most: storytelling, design, live events, motorsport, podcasting, and the communities that form around shared passions.
Whether I’m behind a microphone at Poole Speedway, working on a creative project, developing a podcast, or writing fiction, I’ve always been drawn to the kind of stories that make people feel something — stories about friendship, second chances, family, ambition, loss, loyalty, and the worlds we never quite leave behind.
For years, writing books was one of those “maybe one day” ideas. I think a lot of us have them. Stories we’d love to tell. Projects we keep thinking about. Things we keep putting off because life is busy, or because we’re not sure we’re ready, or because we wonder whether anyone else would even care.
Then, in early 2023, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. After a complicated operation, several months of chemotherapy, and the amazing support of family and friends, I was thankfully declared cancer free.
Going through something like that changes your perspective very quickly. It strips away a lot of the doubts and excuses you carry around with you, especially that quiet little voice that says, “maybe one day.”
For me, writing became one of those “if not now, when?” moments.
Since then, I’ve been building stories that reflect the things I care about most: legacy, belonging, resilience, friendship, found family, and the quiet courage it takes to start again.
Some of those stories are fast, loud, and full of adrenaline. Some are strange, hopeful, and a little mysterious. Others are about ordinary people finding light in difficult places.
But at the heart of all of them is the same idea: stories stay with us because they remind us who we are, who we’ve been, and who we might still become.
Thank you for being here — and for stepping into these worlds with me.
Favourite TV comfort watch? I love documentary style TV. Clarkson’s Farm, Long Way Round, Departures, or Welcome to Wrexham — basically anything about people building something, chasing something, or refusing to give up when it gets difficult.
Favourite book? The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. Beautiful, emotional, atmospheric, and exactly the kind of story that stays with you.
Favourite sweet treat? A proper Boston cream doughnut. No question.
Ideal takeaway order? Ken’s Kitchen in Poole: seaweed, crispy duck, pancakes, spring rolls, satay chicken. Elite.
Most likely to lose hours doing? Web design. Graphic design. Adjusting one tiny spacing issue that absolutely nobody else will notice.
1980s dream vehicle? Street Hawk, obviously. Although KITT would be very hard to turn down.
Creative weakness? Starting a “small side project” that immediately grows a full brand identity, release plan, website, and five-year roadmap.
What do I hope readers feel after finishing one of my books? That they’ve been somewhere. That the characters mattered. And that a little piece of the story stays with them.
