Devon Winterson
Kimberly Grenfell (a.k.a. Devon Winterson) has been an avid reader of fantasy books since childhood, and has studied creative writing and editing both on her own and through college and independent classes. Since 2008, she has been a line editor, a contributing editor, and an art director for Writer's Beat Quarterly, a free online magazine for The Writer's Beat writing community. Kimberly has contributed several articles to this e-zine under the regular features "New Writer on the Beat" and "Mechanical Snippets" to help novice writers understand and master the craft of writing and its mechanics. She has also served as an acquisitions editor and line editor at a small publishing company for two years. Currently, Kimberly has a collection of five full-length novels (in progress) and one novella (also in progress) based in the fictional world of Caendoria, as well as a humorous middle grade novel co-written and co-edited with her son (yes, in progress, as well), and a handful of free "penny fiction" pieces soon available for download on Smashwords - all creations through which she has been able to apply what she's learned in her various studies.

OPEN YOUR HEART TO CHANCE
The urn sat heavy in Kerri’s hands.
Gone. My beautiful golden, gone. Forever. . . .
I’m sorry.
Kerri acknowledged the words with a nod, still numb to recent events.
Losing a pet is hard,
the vet receptionist said, especially one so close to you. But Bailey
— her tone lightened at his name — Bailey was a fighter.
