Hayley Phoenix-Winterburn (yes, that is her real name) lives in rural Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. Her passion for reading is thanks to her Aunt Tammy, and her passion for writing is thanks to having too many thoughts to keep in her head. Hayley’s first ever printed poem was in her elementary school yearbook. After taking many twists and turns, she went on to hold a BA in English from Acadia University, where she discovered that writing holds a special kind of magic. She hopes that she can share that magic with you.
I'm the author of eight books. Two non-fiction, (for John Wiley & Sons and the National Society of Professional Engineers) and six historical fiction/novels (for Dark Spark Press).
My historical novels are a six-book series, "The Puzzle Box Chronicles." Set in the late 1800s, it focuses on an important time of transition in America, when electric lighting is spreading across the country like a wave. Its locations range from private luxury train cars to seedy back alleys. Even the sparks created by that time period's "War of the Currents" can't fully illuminate the darkest parts of that history.
