I am a fiction writer;

A creator of larger-than-life heroes of ages gone by;

Great wizards tainted, and those who resist them;

War between interstellar travelers, both on this planet and far away;

Alien races intent on the annihilation of any being not their own,

and weaker ones in need of a savior- as well as the One who becomes their savior.

Clashes with bad people and dangerous places, where only one can survive.

When you get to my writing, sit back, hold on, and enjoy the ride!

I live in the historical city of York in the UK with my wife and my son. I have been writing for over 25 years. My first steps into the world of writing began with writing normal poetry, as my Dad calls it. Then I tried my hand at writing dark/horror/gory poetry. I'd read some other dark/horror poetry by some other poets and was blown away by how good it was. I posted one of my horror poems on some Facebook poetry groups to see what sort of reaction it would get and I was surprised by the positive reaction it recieved. I decided to give story writing a go and the rest is history. My stories have appeared in numerous horror anthologies. The three ebooks, Sick Twisted F*cks, APOCALYP-SICK & Death, Infection, The Devil and Jed, are available on Amazon are a collection of some my stories that appear in them. You can find these in the BOOKS section of my this page.

The Meyerstown Secret, in all, took me three years to write and is also my first real physical book (its also available as an ebook).

I have two more stories which will hopefully be getting released some time this year, one of which I have just finished writing.

My poetry can be found at https://gloriouslygory.wordpress.com

I always enjoyed reading fictional worlds, but creating my own was always my passion. My Year 8 English teacher told me I should pursue writing after a short story I had written for a school project. I don't know where my love of zombies come from, but it just happened, and now it is my life.

I’m also prepared to move to a secure location at a zombie’s notice … If you’ve gotten this far, please leave me a review and message me; I love hearing what people think!

Winters is an avid listener of all things hard-rock and heavy-metal, a compendium of comic-book knowledge, can (and will) do a perplexing array of voice impersonations, and can bend his thumbs further back than any person should have the right/capability of doing. It is all quite odd . . .
