Lee Swanson

I became enamored with historical fiction set in the medieval era while living in Germany for fifteen years and England for ten. During this time, I had the opportunity to visit the sites that comprise the settings for my novels.

I have a particular interest in the merchants and traders of the 13th and fourteenth centuries, particularly the Hanseatic League of northern Europe.

My wife and I currently live in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley during the summer and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico in the winter along with our dog, Banjo.
