JA Winterford was born in Mossley, a former industrial hill-town on the edge of what is now Greater Manchester, but considers herself to be an authentic Lancastrian. She was educated at Ashton-under-Lyne Grammar School and has enjoyed writing stories from a very young age.She made her first trip to Anglesey in 1986 and fell in love with the island. Every year since, she has visited Anglesey with her family, who share her love and enthusiasm for traversing the iconic bridges and experiencing the island’s unique beauty.Fall From Grace is JA Winterford’s first published novel and is mainly based in Anglesey. Using her knowledge of the area, her characters are given a charming and sometimes dramatic backdrop as their stories play out and their lives are affected by personal trauma. Her love of a ‘good read’ with strong characters, coupled with twists and turns, has enabled her to structure the story in the way she enjoys reading fiction herself, however, written in her own style.
