She will be hanging a new show of paintings for June-July 2021. Winter is married to a paleobotanist, who corrects the science in both her paintings and her stories. She's published science fiction short stories, and her first novel, a historical thriller, NIGHT MUST WAIT came out October, 2012 through Imajin Books of Edmonton, Canada.

In NIGHT MUST WAIT, four American women friends pursue power in Africa, until the explosion of the Nigerian civil war triggers a murderous civil war between them.

In the midst of covid-19, the author finally went back to reformat NIGHT MUST WAIT to publish a revised edition of the novel as an e-book, now that the rights have reverted to her. It's available, and if you have Kindle unlimited, it's free! Enjoy, and please leave a review, even if you don't like it. Winter figures that her next book and future writing will be improved by any and all input from readers.
