Winter Pennington est l'auteure de la série mettant en scène l'Investigatrice du Surnaturel Kassandra Lyall. Profondément influencée par la spiritualité basée sur la nature et la mythologie mondiale, son œuvre résonne souvent avec la voie celtique, qui revêt une signification particulière pour elle. Une fascination inhabituelle pour les épées et les dagues, associée à un penchant pour nourrir des corvidés bruyants, façonne sa voix narrative distinctive. Sa vaste expérience en tant que spécialiste des soins aux animaux de compagnie et assistante vétérinaire offre une perspective unique qui enrichit sa narration.
