A.J. Winter (Amanda) is a writer from Appleton, Wisconsin. She graduated with her Bachelor's in English in 2017 from University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Growing up, she always read books, often reading multiple in the span of a week. She befriended her school librarians in order to cure the loneliness she often felt. She began her adventures in writing online, turning to fan fiction before turning to Science Fiction and Fantasy. She still reads a lot, but she also likes to attempt many hobbies as she dives deep into multiple rewatches of her favorite shows. She lives with her family,  one calico cat, and one crazy Labrador in her childhood home.
