my short stories
doctor love
Doctor Love focuses on a female FBI agent named Agent Rosa who’s tasked with investigating a brilliant doctor and charismatic influencer known as Doctor Evelyn Lantis, aka Doctor Love. Doctor Lantis presides over a rapidly growing community called the People of Agape that’s located just outside of Bend, OR. Agent Rosa infiltrates the People of Agape for several weeks to learn why some local children, who were playing near the Agape compound, began acting like the supposed cultists. The Bureau wants to know if the Agape cult can modify human behavior and if they’re dangerous or not. Agent Rosa gathers intelligence on Dr. Love and the other Agapians until she figures out their secret. After getting the evidence she needs, Agent Rosa is presented with a difficult choice, the results of which will determine the fate of the world.
Shoot the Messenger
Two hi-tech mercenaries known as Locke and Reaper collide with an evil, Lovecraftian god named Nyarlathotep in this high-octane, science-fiction story set in the Middle-East. It all starts with a call from a client who asks the mercenaries to eliminate a mysterious arms-dealer known only as the Messenger. Locke and Reaper agree to take the job since the generous bounty of one billion dollars will allow them to retire from the mercenary trade. What looked like a simple kill mission, however, quickly unravels when they realize that their enemy has devastating technology that shouldn’t exist. The mission gets even more bizarre and nightmarish when the Messenger reveals his true form!
Survivor
Two military police-men investigate the sudden, horrifying slaughter of a platoon of Marines on a military base in the desert. One Marine survived, but his story sounds too bizarre to be true. The question is: who or what killed the men on that dreadful night?
Valentine
“Valentine” is a science-fiction, short story set on Earth in the year 3025. Aros Valentinus is a mid-level administrator serving the floating, mobile city called Skyhaven. Aros hails from a powerful, influential family, but he buries himself in work rather than pursuing an aimless life of pleasure. Being a workaholic leaves little time for a personal life, however, prompting Aros to rely on Ms. February, his AI assistant, for companionship. Aros runs into Cerise, a former mentor, at an awards ceremony. Cerise recently created a virtual simulation called Real Life in which people temporarily forget their real identity while living an alternate, virtual life. These virtual lives are referred to as blind dives due to the amnesia involved. Cerise encourages Aros to take a blind dive, so he can see how enriching it is. Aros does so and is deeply effected by the experience. He also becomes romantically involved with Ms. February who attains a synthetic body. “Valentine” poses the following questions: can personal evolution be accelerated by living virtual lives on a compressed time-scale, and can humans fall in love with synthetic people?

“The Story of Umbriel was absolutely worth the read. This is lovely, suspenseful and gut wrenching. This novel took me through all ranges of emotions starting with the awe of such a beautiful and true love between two young people, to rage in what was taken from them, but also to a heartache only a mother could feel and relate to. This was very well written and captured my attention the entire way through.” – Angela Stewart

“Overall, I wish I could write as well as you. Your style is great and very fitting for fantasy. As already mentioned in the world building part, your descriptions are exceptional, but the dialogues, action sequences and characters’ reactions are very strong, too.” – Peter Cole.
“Winston has a bold writing style that pulls you into his stories and imbues his characters with life in that they feel like real, flesh and blood people. I can’t recommend his work enough.” – Bryan Seward reviewing Vlain and the Last Wild.
