Robert Winter

Robert Winter is a recovering lawyer who likes writing about love and adventure much more than drafting a legal brief. Once upon a time, he went to Georgetown University law school. Upon graduation, he moved to New York to work in a large law firm, but later returned to Washington, DC. The legal work was entertaining and Robert spent a lot of time in bankruptcy court, usually representing either groups of creditor or the debtors themselves. But legal work didn’t satisfy the urge Robert felt to tell stories.

When he turned 50, Robert left behind the (allegedly) glamorous world of international law firms and bankruptcy court to pursue his real passion. Now he lives in Montreal with his husband Peter, studying Quebeçois French between trips to exotic locations. Last year, he and Peter took a driving tour through the Maritime Provinces of Canada, and spent five weeks in Asia. Who knows where he will end up this year? The couple recently adopted two Maine Coon cats who are in control of the household -- hopefully they will let Robert out at some point.

When Robert isn’t writing, he loves to cook Indian food. The aromas of the spice blends excite and challenge him. Although he’s never (yet) been to India, the food seems comforting and home-like. Add a trip to the Golden Triangle to the bucket list!
