Lee Chavis is a screenwriter and novelist, born and raised in Suffolk, Virginia. He moved to Washington, D.C. in the early 1980s and spent nearly thirty years there as a management consultant. In 2003, he returned to the Suffolk area and became a freelance writer and public school teacher. During his formative years, Chavis was an accomplished concert violinist and was awarded the William S. Newman Violin Scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored in music but later went on to graduate with degrees in political science and honors in philosophy.

After a brief stint at the Campbell University School of Law, Chavis worked as a legal researcher in Washington, D.C. and in 1983 published a manual titled "The Consumer and the Credit Transaction." Later, Chavis decided to try his hand at writing fiction and by chance came across Sherry Gottlieb, a bestselling novelist whose credits include "Love Bite" that was turned into the 1995 TV movie Deadly Love (1995) starring Susan Dey. Gottlieb took Chavis under her wing almost immediately, and after several years of editing, instruction, and guidance on the art of fiction writing and three-act structure, Chavis completed his first novel in 2009 titled "A Dance in Paradise," a tragicomedy about a first-year law student who grapples with the untimely death of his grandfather. A few months later, Chavis wrote, directed and produced the book's movie trailer while living in New Jersey and which is now featured on YouTube. After this rewarding experience, it soon became apparent to Chavis that his passion for storytelling had led him not only to writing a novel but also to branching out into the study of filmmaking and screenwriting.

In 2013, he wrote The Last Immortal with Karim Lounes, a science fiction thriller about a warlock who seeks revenge against a scientist for a ritual that goes awry. Soon afterward, they wrote and produced an actors' video titled "The Last Immortal: An Inside Look" now featured on YouTube. In 2016, Chavis partnered with Latin American Studies scholar Conchita Franco Serri to write The War Necklace, a 19th-century period drama about a Venezuelan tycoon who sets sail for Spain to seek a favorable business deal only to discover that the king has conned him into returning valuable pearls while plotting to take over his empire. In 2018, Chavis completed Endless Passion, a crime thriller about a movie mogul whose past comes back to haunt him by those threatening to expose him as a drug lord.

His latest project, The Stillness of Dark, set in circa 1918, revolves around an Amish woman and her fiancé who returns home from the war emotionally shattered and with actions that will lead to disastrous consequences.
