Elia Winters is a RITA Award-winning author who writes geeky, kinky, cozy erotic romance. She holds a master's degree in English literature and teaches at a small rural high school, where she also runs the drama club. Winters balances her love of words with a love of baking, crafting, and a bottomless well of geekiness; in her spare time, she is equally likely to be found playing tabletop games, kneading bread, cross-stitching, or binge-watching Marie Kondo. She currently lives in western Massachusetts with her loving husband and their spoiled cat. For more information, visit EliaWinters.com.
