Autorenporträt
With one foot in the world of technology and the other in the world of words, Colleen Winter's fiction explores our relationship with technology and ultimately the choices it requires us to make. She is an electrical engineer and former journalist, and was short-listed for the 2020 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize in Speculative Fiction, has received two Writer's Reserve grants from the Ontario Arts Council, won the Best First Sentence Contest at Thrillerfest, won first prize in the CAA Leacock/Simcoe Erotic prose contest, received a SLS Fellowship from the Unified Literary Contest, and is an alumni of the Humber School of Writers. When she isn't writing, Colleen can be found hiking or climbing the beautiful places of the world or sneaking out for early morning swims in whatever freshwater lake is nearby. She reads to get inspired by Martha Wells, Becky Chambers, Veronica Roth, Blake Crouch, Andy Weir, and Matt Haig. She is a member of Science Fiction Writers of America, The Writers' Union of Canada, and International Thriller Writers. Colleen lives in Ontario with her husband Ron in their empty nest with their loveable, psychotic, reactive dog Kira.
