About J.W. Winslow 

J.W. Winslow is the daughter of character actor Dick Winslow, and grew up among the production crews, screenwriters, and movie stars of Hollywood. She has lived on California’s Central Coast for over two decades. Intimate knowledge of the Hollywood scene, combined with her immersion in the Big Sur community, has enabled her to craft a story such that the reader is not sure where fiction begins and non-fiction ends.

Her newest book, “Belinda” is the fourth of seven planned volumes in the series, and follows “Jasmine Dogs (Mystic Adventures in Big Sur)” Volume I, and “Jade Beach” Volumes II and III. Fans who have followed Dyanna’s adventures in and out of the boudoir will never believe what’s in store for her in this riveting story of “Belinda”, so be prepared to dive into adventure and the mystic dreams of Big Sur. Each print edition also offers a free copy of the enhanced e-book with links to fabulous places and objects of desire. 

J.W. Winslow is a writer/artist/poet and pioneering green publisher who has produced five books under her imprint of FRESH ART. She is now developing a series for episodic television based on the adventures of Dyanna Falconer. She also hosts the weekly WINSLOWART TV show, broadcast live in Monterey, CA from AMP Media, community television for the Central Coast.
