About Bronwen Winter Phoenix

Known as the female John Wick of content, Bronwen Winter Phoenix is determined, prolific, and won’t stop ‘til the job is done… but is still not impervious to being hit by the odd car. She gets by as an Edinburgh-based artist, illustrator, Galaxy Award-nominated author, and ex-journalist.
 
Also known as; B-winnie Bookbags, Capt. Feral Phoenix, Stepmother of Dragons, the Sunburnt, and Teller of Tall Tales. With more dresses than sense, a Bronwen at rest cannot be stopped. She’s making gravy without the lumps.
