Blending his passion for technology and art into adventure, rst-time author Michael Lee published “Drone Away From Home” to help encourage younger audiences to read and inspire readers to explore.

Lee, a military veteran, was rst inspired to tell a story of adventure after moving to Colorado in 2010 and seeing the beauty of the state. When his three children were young, he used to take them to the park where they would y kites.

Lee wrote a story called “ e Kite in the Cloud,” but was not completely satis ed with it, leaving the story to sit in his computer.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lee was looking for a creative outlet and decided to come back to the story.
