Justin Lee Anderson spent 15 years as a professional writer and editor before his debut novel, Carpet Diem, was published in 2015. It became a best-seller and won a 2018 Audie award. Since 2018 he has been writing full time, alongside working on scripts with his wife, Juliet, who he met through a BBC scriptwriting contest. They live just outside his hometown of Edinburgh with their Brady Bunch family of five kids. He misses Firefly. No Wash jokes. Too soon.

His first novels, the Burned Man series, are noir urban fantasy. He has also worked on game tie-in short fiction for various franchises including Warhammer.
