Lois Winston straddles two worlds. She's an award-winning
author of romance, romantic suspense, humorous women's
fiction, and mystery under her own name and as Emma Carlyle.
She's also an award-winning designer of needlework and
crafts projects for magazines, craft book publishers, and
craft kit manufacturers. Like Anastasia, the protagonist in
her ANASTASIA POLLACK CRAFTING MYSTERIES series,
Lois worked for several years as a crafts editor. A graduate
of the prestigious Tyler School of Art, she often draws on
her art and design background for much of the source
material in her fiction. She lives with her husband a stone's
throw from Manhattan (assuming you can throw a stone
across the Hudson River.)
