I Have a Picture Book Coming in 2023!

I'm so excited to announce that I'm now the author of a picture book biography!Cut!: How Lotte Reinger and a Pair of Scissors Revolutionized Animation, illustrated by the talented Matt Schu, will release from Greenwillow Books in Winter 2023. Thanks to my Greenwillow editor, Martha Mihalick, for acquiring the book back in the darkness and chaos of early 2020, and to my agent, Barbara Poelle, for helping me embark on this new adventure.

Here's the official announcement from Publishers Weekly Children's Bookshelf:

I've written the book under the name C.E. Winters to separate my picture books from my novels for teens and adults. I've also launched a new website, cewinters.com, and set up new Twitter and Instagram accounts that will primarily focus on my books for younger kids.

Who was Lotte Reiniger? She was the creator of the oldest surviving full-length animated film, the inventor of an early multiplane camera, and a revolutionary silhouette artist whose influence can still be seen in the works of artists and filmmakers to this day.

Here's a snippet of Reiniger's short film Cinderella, from 1922:

While you're waiting for Cut!, I recommend watching these short documentaries:

Fall 2021 Updates

Hello, dear readers!

It's been a while since I've posted any news here, mainly because the book news I'm sitting on can't be shared publicly just yet. I'm shrouded in secrecry right now! All I can say is that I sold a book last year and hope to be able to announce it publicly next year.

I'm also working on a secret new project, and I have another book out on submission . . . so, again, all the things I could possibly talk about are projects I can't actually talk about.

Please keep an eye on this website for announcements or follow me on social media.

Warmest wishes,
Cat WintersPosted byCat Wintersat12:21:00 PMEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest0Comments - Join the Conversation

Eight Years of IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS

April 2 marked the eighth anniversary of the publication of my debut novel, In the Shadow of Blackbirds. This past year I've often felt like I've become trapped inside the book's 1918 setting, when another pandemic threatened lives, shut down cities, and turned masks into a means of keeping everyone safe. It's been surreal, to say the least.
To everyone who's read In the Shadow of Blackbirdsover the past eight years, thank you for discovering and recommending my tale of a rational, science-minded girl who's forced into a world of spiritualism and suspense during WWI and the 1918 flu.
Below you'll find a few bonus features for the book that I've posted throughout the years, as well as purchase links and library links for the various editions.
★ “Winters’s masterful debut novel is an impressively researched marriage of the tragedies of wartime, the 1918 flu epidemic, the contemporaneous Spiritualism craze, and a chilling love story and mystery . . .Deliciously creepy.”
