- In 1976, Lee quit her day job to become a full-time freelance writer.
- Sold her first novel, 'The Dragon Hoard', at the age of nineteen.
- Submitted story ideas to Doctor Who (1963) but they were rejected.
- She wrote more than 90 novels and 300 short stories, making her one of the most prolific horror and fantasy writers of her generation.

- I didn't learn to read until I was almost eight - partly bad schooling, and partly I suspect slight dyslectic problems. My father, driven mad by this, taught me to read. At nine I began writing.
