About the author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Who is Winn? Hmm, let me put it this way—she had to spell-check the word “genius.”

Then she searched for its antonym, which yielded a long list of hilarious terms, among which included “scientist,” according to wordhippo.com.

So… Winn is a scientist who is often uncertain about whether the English alphabet includes 24 or 26 letters. And despite her challenges with arranging them correctly, she weaves them into highly-imaginative, metaphysical Sci-Fi adventures.
