Who aM I?

Hello, my name is Jamie Lee Coulter, and I am an award-winning author who was born and raised in the deep South.  I started developing my writing career at an early age by making squiggles on paper before I knew how to write.  My days and nights were spent reading those squiggles to my dolls.  After selling my first piece of writing in my early twenties to a parent’s magazine, my writing career took off.  Now my days and nights are spent dreaming up new characters and new situations to throw them into. Helping me write is my micro-mini teacup Chihuahua named “Mouse” who occupies a heated bed underneath my desk as I write.
 
In addition to writing, I am also an award-winning photographer and specialize in nature and wildlife photography.  I continued my photographic studies while serving as a Medic in the U.S. Air Force.  Since then, I have attended the Rocky Mountain School of Photography’s Nature Photography Workshop Series at Wildeyes in Kalispell, Montana, and graduated from the “Beginning Nature Photography Course” and the “Advanced Nature Photography Course” taught by Joe and Mary Ann McDonald at Hoot Hollow in McClure, Pennsylvania.  A field contributor to Nature Photographer magazine and a member of the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA), I have won numerous awards and was selected to participate in the “Faces of Iowa” project which was exhibited at the Des Moines Art Center before traveling around the State of Iowa.
