J. Wint

J. Wint grew up in the 70’s watching cheesy science fiction movies and spending his grade school days reading worn-out fantasy novels. These early experiences shaped his love for writing and have influenced his work over the years. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s in architecture and received his license in 2004 and a LEED accreditation in 2009. Architecture has given him a unique perspective on solving problems and shown that the built environment can create an equal opportunity for everyone to live, learn and prosper.

Wint has penned three novels in the Skylight Series, including The Prism Effect, The Skylight Fallout and The Heliographi Memoirs. He lives in Oklahoma with his family.

“… an energetic, surprising final act that spirals into an unexpected but welcome resolution… This colorful Sci-Fantasy tale boasts exhilarating tension and superb worldbuilding.” Kirkus Reviews

Author J. Wint’s young adult dystopian series starts with a bang and should appeal to sci-fi and fantasy lovers alike. The plot moves at a blistering pace, with a narrative that also incorporates elements from adventure and mystery genres to keep you on your toes and turning the pages with eager anticipation of what’s to come. – Readers’ Favorite

There were so many moments as the plot barreled forward where I realized amazing connections that I had overlooked in the early
chapters, making it a book to gleefully read again. Surprising and thoughtful, the plot builds steadily and ends with a bang. –Indies Today

J. Wint has created an entirely new universe set in the semi-distant future that is easy to believe and impossible to put down. I absolutely love when genre lines are blurred, and The Prism Effect is a perfect example of combining science fiction, mystery, supernatural, and action. Even athletics and technology make a fair appearance, as we are introduced to the newest, futuristic sport since Quidditch. – Readers’ Favorite

The suspenseful bits are ratcheted up high and the mysterious, secretive atmosphere will have readers at the edge of their seats and resisting the urge to shuffle forward a few pages. I absolutely love it when an aura of mystery permeates throughout the entire telling of a story. Wint left enough details unresolved that readers will be waiting with bated breath for the next instalment in the series. —  Online Bookclub

Superbly written, the story fires the imagination from the very beginning. The combination of the race against the clock and the distinctive characters creates a suspenseful and unforgettable first book in what promises to be a spectacular series. – Readers’ Favorite
