Clean Sweep A Novel
When a sidewalk is no place like home
Retirement was supposed to bring her time to paint. Instead, she would find a purpose.
Selling her Madison Avenue ad agency for billions, Carli Morris, the self-assured career woman, pursues her love of art and spends her spare hours volunteering. But her comfortable confidence turns to horror when a routine food delivery to a homeless encampment leads her to discover one of its residents dead and her two dogs orphaned.
With the heartbreaking incident reopening the wounds of Carli’s tragic past, she makes it her mission to find the unfortunate soul’s family and re-home her canine companions. And the deeper the former marketing genius gets involved as an outreach worker, the more she is convinced that the answer to her personal sorrow lies on these very streets.
As she uncovers the connection between her long-lost brother and the people she meets on the street, will Carli at last find her own peace?
With beautiful prose and an unflinching eye, E.B. Lee delivers a powerful and uplifting tale of unexpected service and unforeseen redemption. Peeling back the grimy curtain concealing our own ghosts, she reveals the deep human need for connection and love.
Clean Sweep is a moving work of literary fiction. If you like strong women, elegant writing, and journeys of self-discovery, you’ll adore E.B. Lee’s unforgettable story.

Thunder in Yellowstone
She left the big city searching for simplicity. When cultures clash and what’s right becomes hazy, can she find the path to her truth?
Philadelphia. Amber Phillips is craving a change. Tired of only seeing the ugly side of people, the crime reporter hopes moving to Montana as a feature writer for a glossy Yellowstone magazine will help her decompress and move past the tragic loss of both her police officer partner, Jake Marshall, and his K-9 officer, Olive. But her east-coast sensibilities take a hard landing in the modern-day wild west when a local is gored to death by a bison.
Shocked by the yearly purge of the majestic beasts from their Yellowstone National Park home and the possibility the local man’s demise was foul play, she draws on her investigative skills and wades into a feud among area ranchers. But while cryptic clues reveal ties between land development, a deadly bacterium, and high-minded conservationists, another heart-stopping loss shocks her into rethinking her principles and purpose.
As Amber faces her own mortality, amidst the larger-than-life Yellowstone landscape, will a dramatic shift in mindset bring a new understanding of life, justice, and the grave?
Thought-provoking and emotionally written, E. B. Lee takes the reader on a journey examining humanity and our tenuous grasp on righteousness influenced by bias and ignorance. The story shatters ingrained mindsets and leads us to question who we are and how far we’ll go to preserve our sense of self.
Thunder in Yellowstone is a riveting story of contemporary literary fiction. If you like determined heroines, exploring issues from both sides, and the grandeur of nature, you’ll love E. B. Lee's captivating tale.
Thunder in Yellowstone will be available soon to libraries and retailers through IngramSpark and its distributors
Thunder in Yellowstone will be available in Audiobook format in early spring 2024!
