Clara Winter

CLARA WINTER

Clara Winter grew up in the publishing world and attended acting/art school. She grew up in a small northern French town in Québec, Canada. Determined to make it into the big leagues, she learned English independently. She had Stephen King, Oliver Bowden, Charlaine Harris, Jeaniene Frost, and Bernard Cornwell as her ‘literary teachers’ in the art of writing.

Odd to most people, her whole life, Winter became a bookworm and developed an antisocial personality disorder. She fought many stereotypes and misconceptions from the outside world her entire life. After all, horror is hard to defend to other parents when your daughter is only six-year-old. Clara Winter preferred daydreaming of any other activity. Winter tested ahead of her classmates in IQ at a young age, allowing her to pursue her studies in a special school. However, avoiding other people was still what Clara did the most.

Years later, despite Winter’s clinically introverted personality, she made one of her dreams come true. She built a gothic magazine that would become a platform for the indie community. She named it Gothic Bite Magazine. Her primary inspirations were Gothic Beauty Magazine, Fangoria, and The Vampire Book Club.

Following the launch of her webzine, Clara Winter published her very first novel, Mrs. Blackwood, under the art pen name she once used: Alexa Wayne. It proved to Clara that making one dream come true was possible. Her passion for what lurks in the dark or legends was no obstacle for Winter, who wrote the Lord Impaler Series. Her studies also came in handy for her more logical approach to either subject.

What Clara favoured over social events that she despised as a misanthrope and as a socially awkward personality was drawing. Clara Winter became a great fan of DC Comics’ Batman and Buffy The Vampire Slayer at a young age. She even pursued some of her studies in art at an online school and was a contender for DC Comics’ Art Workshop in 2017.

But Clara Winter will never forget who gave her the first shot at writing professionally, the CEO and her first editor, Tara M. Clapper of The Geek Initiative.
