When I was ten, I built my own bed on stilts so I could have a reading nook underneath, where I spent many late nights, up past my bedtime. I read two or three books a week, not including schoolwork. I also was an avid Dungeons and Dragons player, martial arts student, and cross-country runner. Many years later, my hobbies include hiking, boating, Scrabble, cooking, and gardening. I am fortunate enough to live on Mount Desert Island with my spouse, two cats, and a poodle.

I publish under a pseudonym because I live in a small town on a small island and everyone knows everyone else's business here. Winter Fox is also easier to spell.

I have been working on the "Flight of the Wren" series since 2013, when I began researching the history of the Viking Age. I plan on releasing two novels in the series every year until it is complete, likely 5 books in all, at the end of the era.

The Grace Coffin series were my first published novels, born out of the #Metoo movement. It features Grace, a troubled teen trying to finish high school, and me, the dead guy.

In case you were wondering, I don't lie awake worried about the existence of Undead creatures; I worry about how they entertain themselves, and where they get their online shopping delivered.

My first book, GRACE COFFIN AND THE BADLY-SEWN CORPSE takes place right in my hometown, Southwest Harbor, right on the edge of Acadia National Park. The scenery here is to die for and it remains a daily inspiration.

I love to write and the long Maine winters provide an excellent opportunity for real, live 'woodshedding.' It is only recently that I've begun writing full-time. Please visit my web page, winterfoxbooks.com to see more personal information.
