Hi, I’m Winter! I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with my husband, two sons (twelve and ten), and red-heeler cross.
I work as a technical writer at a software company, and I write romance novels! (as you might have gathered).
When I’m not working or writing or spending time with family, you can find me sleeping (really, pretty good odds), or doing housework — usually while listening to an audiobook.
(Also, I have a fondness for parentheses.)
These are a few of my favourite things:
