Lee Ching Kai, Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) Accounting student has authored three novels, one horror and two fantasy, in less than two years. The two fantasy novels are known as Winfred Cowell, Smedaphites, and the Aliens and Winfred Cowell, Smedaphites, and the Aliens 2, while the horror book was titled Dare to Read It!.

Lee, who is very passionate about language and public speaking, also happens to be a black belt taekwondo national champion. All these qualities have moulded him into an individual with a strong focus, which helps him in not only writing, but also on his academic studies.

“I realised I wanted to be a writer when I had the notion that I would like to do something great and different from other people. It was not until I completed the first book that I realised I had a passion for such new ventures,” said Lee.

When asked what inspired him to write, Lee said, “My unwavering desire to write at least one book in my lifetime spurred me to write the first book. Also, discerning the unparalleled patience and perseverance possessed by most authors and other successful people, I aspired to challenge my determination and set pen to paper. ”

He received his inspiration from two famous authors, namely J.K. Rowling and J.R.R. Tolkien, due to their impressive way of laying out their stories.Lee thinks that a good story’s content should be laid out based on novel ideas and the way the content is portrayed should be able to showcase the story to book critics in the publishing industry, while the contents should be able to captivate readers.

“There might be scores of hurdles in the process, but I believe as we persevere to fill the pride and dignity of doing great works, nothing can cease our ambition,” Lee pronounced.

Five copies of each novel were donated to the UTAR Main Library in Kampar Campus. The book hand-over ceremony was attended by Faculty of Business and Finance (FBF) Dean Prof Dr Choong Chee Keong, Head of Library (Kampar Campus) Hew Yoke Far, and FBF Department of Business Head Choong Yuen Onn. The novels are also available for sale on Amazon.com.
