Julianne Hildebrand Winter (J.H. Winter) is an author/illustrator based out of the Pacific Northwest. She is a member of SCBWI, writing fantasy books for children, from picture books all the way to illustrated chapter books and middle grade.
Released September 1, 2020, came J.H. Winter’s debut chapter book series, Tales of Whimsy, about an orb spider named Whimsy who, in her first adventure, Wishweaver, goes in search of answers as to what happened to the Wishweaver. Whimsy’s journey continues in Book Two of the series, The Wayward Wind, set for release August 28, 2021.
When Julianne isn’t writing or illustrating, she is crafting up original crocheted amigurumi (plush toys) and C2C graphgans to share as free patterns on her blog, Ink & Stitches. She currently teaches how to crochet amigurumi through her many how-to videos on her Ink & Stitches YouTube Channel, and enjoys any opportunity to help others learn the craft.
