Winona Howe

Winona Howe's debut novel was the prizewinning Sita and the Prince of Tigers; she has also published articles and chapters on children's books, Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, the Australian detective novelist Arthur Upfield, and the film The Professionals. She taught literature and writing at La Sierra University, interspersed with travel to all seven continents, and decided that education and adventure made the perfect combination. Upon retirement, however, she discovered that combining writing with continued adventure was even more interesting. Winona also loves spending time with her family and likes to sit in her rose garden and continue her childhood habit of reading books.
