Windy Woods is an author who brings a unique blend of artistry and precision to her storytelling. Her first solo novel, an adult Beauty and the Beast retelling expected in early 2026, is an immersive historical fantasy. This intense work transports readers to 18th-century Borneo, where the cursed Beast is a formidable fruit bat-like entity and the delicate rose is a deadly Rafflesia flower. The novella fearlessly tackles challenging historical themes, including head-hunter tribes and the horrors of slave transport.
Beyond her solo pursuits, Windy is actively collaborating with fellow author Arianna DuSoleil to bring even more high-stakes fantasy worlds to life. When she isn’t deep in world-building, Windy is the founder and creative force behind Windy Woods Studios, a business specializing in custom leather goods.
