Stephen Winter is an author of literary sci-fi, dark fantasy, and mystery, as well as a lover of all things fluffy and huggable. He practiced as an environmental attorney for six years, and his love for Mother Earth always finds its way into his work in some fashion.

Stephen lives in Los Angeles with his wife. When not writing, he enjoys hiking with his dog, surfing, baking, and doing anything and everything to make his newborn (and his wife) giggle.

His debut novel, "Murder Inferno: a Loque Lo'White Mystery," begins a series of carefully crafted mysteries blending intricate clue-solving with fantastical and unexpected settings. This first entry takes place within a virtual reality video game, and is perfect for fans of Knives Out and/or Ready Player One.
