Lee Cake

Lee Cake is a pen name. He chose it because it’s short, tasty and (hopefully) memorable.

Lee’s author persona has a day job that involves data, systems and security. He’s described as methodical, with a long‑standing fascination with puzzles, cryptography, ancient maps, and druid lore.
He keeps a leather‑bound notebook filled with coded scribbles, half‑baked theories on druids and lost relics, and random cryptic pub overhears.
During breaks, he reads about Neolithic astronomy or takes long walks to mentally untangle plot ideas.

He uses an actual compass—not just for hikes, but because it “makes him feel like he’s part of a larger, unseen world”.
His bookshelves are organised thematically—“ancient technology,” “esoteric languages,” “things the Romans didn’t want you to know”—rather than alphabetically.

Introverted in social settings, he becomes animated when discussing hidden knowledge or Stonehenge’s alignments; in the evenings he writes over tea or whisky, weaving archaeology, quantum theory, and conspiracy lore into “pacy and pulpy” storytelling with intellectual underpinnings.

This is Lee Cake’s debut novel, published April 2025 by Leaves of Gold Press, available in paperback, large print, and Kindle formats.

The story follows cryptographer Dr Eliza Blackwood and Detective Inspector Jack Holloway as they unravel cryptic symbols discovered at Stonehenge, facing druids, conspiracies, and hidden chambers that could rewrite history.

It blends archaeological thriller, cryptography, and suspense—centering on ancient codes and potentially world‑changing secrets.
