About Winter Fox

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 D&D 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 doodle.

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. In my novels, I call out social injustice, sexual harassment, censorship, and questionable dining experiences. "Badly-Sewn Corpse" is my first published novel. Watch for two more Grace Coffin novels coming later this year...

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. In 2018, I wrote three novels (the GRACE COFFIN series) and a play in verse. It was, to say the least, a busy year. Please visit my web page, winterfoxbooks.com to see more personal information.

Grace Coffin and the Ghostwriter Aug 5, 2019

by Winter Fox

( 3 )

$4.00

Out of the low-lying fog on the coast of Maine emerges a new mystery:
Cormac’s new venture, ‘Spirited Ghostwriting’ finally nets him a customer, and the story is dynamite. Famous movie star Isabelle Cake wants him to write her memoirs, which will ignite a powder keg of Hollywood secrets.
Meanwhile, with her band on hiatus, Grace goes to work as a waitress for an upscale catering company and gets way too close a look at the secretive celebrity culture of Mount Desert Island, Maine.
Is Isabelle Cake in hiding, or is she being held captive? Why is she writing her memoirs now, when she’s still so young? Can Grace keep her blood cravings at bay long enough to help Cormac find the missing actress
before it’s too late?
In this third book of the Grace Coffin series, we discover why Grace hates lobster, the importance of having internet in your crypt, and why it's not such a good idea to keep a working collection of Medieval torture devices.

Grace Coffin and the Badly-Sewn Corpse May 9, 2019

$0.99

Something is brewing in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Grace moves into a dead guy's house, only the problem is, he's not quite 'dead and gone.'

Grace doesn’t make friends easily. Getting close to other people always leads to questions about the past she’s trying to forget. But, when she suspects that her new house is haunted, she needs the help of the boy next door to unravel the mystery of the previous owner. She finds herself falling for her new neighbor but can he handle the truth about her past?

Cormac was a decent guy. Now he’s dead. That doesn’t stop him from returning to Earth as a Revenant to exact revenge on his wife’s killer. He takes residence in his own backyard memorial Urn and his botched attempts at self-embalming turn him into a monster: the ‘Badly-Sewn Corpse.’ Will he be shredded by the local ghouls? Will his moralizing and inexperience at being dead prevent him from finding resolution?

"Grace Coffin and the Badly-Sewn Corpse" is the first book in the Grace Coffin series. It is a supernatural mystery that is funny and deep, tragic and romantic, and also fantastically real. With a wicked, dry sense of humor, author Winter Fox gives us a candid look at Southwest Harbor, the perfect little town on the coast, where Undead creatures lurk, the heroes are flawed, the villains are human and complex, and the scenery is to die for.

Grace is at the beginning of her life, tripping over her unpacked baggage as she leaps into adulthood; Cormac is dead and hell-bent on revenge. Is she ready for an ally whose secrets are even darker than her own?

$3.00

Southwest Harbor, Maine is the perfect coastal village, complete with Goth Rock-playing teens, zealous school administrators, and Undead denizens.

As Grace and Oliver pursue their dream to start a band, their songs attract the attention of the Christian Right and the Undead Left, embroiling them in a sinister plot to bring down the veil between the living and the dead. Their music also gets them suspended from school just before graduation and lands Grace in the hospital, so you know it has to be good.

Grace’s Undead neighbor Cormac journeys to Mount Hope, Bangor’s historic cemetery, to collect his wife’s bones. He finds much more than he bargained for, enduring a grueling gauntlet of trials in order to return home in time to help his friends survive the Maine Monster Mash, a Halloween battle of Goth Rock bands.

In the second book of the Grace Coffin series, Winter Fox’s unlikely heroes help each other over the hurdles presented by life (and death) with humor, a little luck, and a few drops of blood. We discover the finer qualities of ghoul milk, how Grace feels about girl crushes and polyamory, and the power of rock and roll to save the world.

Thorkell's crew fights against vengeful Russians, even as he goes to Uppsala to steal magical rune tiles for his wife, and all along, Hilja, our heroine, travels across the breadth of Scandinavia with her companion, 'The Cursed Boy' in search of her lost tribe. Her ability to heal and speak with animals becomes the key to her survival as she fights for her people's future.
