Winter A. Peck is a storyteller at heart. Her first vivid memories are of summer family reunions spent listening to stories of the past. Winter leans heavily on her mid-western roots, her love of the Old West, and the rodeo, weaving each aspect into her books. When she's not writing, she's busy coaching junior high girl's volleyball, staying active in her church, and juggling the active life of a military wife. She's the mother of three boys and one cowgirl in training. Currently, Winter and her family live in North Central Illinois.
