Winnifred Tataw: Art with a Dash of Science
Winnifred Tataw is another author I met at the recent Multiverse Con. I loved her work and figured it was high time to have her here on the blog. She is an artist, entrepreneur, and Amazon Bestselling author of The Gods’ Scion series. She aims to craft a captivating fantasy world reflecting real-world issues. Winnifred hopes to spread joy and positivity by viewing the world through a glittery pink lens.
Tell us a bit about your latest work.
Sure thing! The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened, the thrilling fifth installment in the Gods’ Scion series. This book, in particular, feels like a personal journey. It’s a tapestry of emotions, battles, and the ever-elusive quest for identity. Have you ever felt like you’re on the brink of discovering something monumental about yourself? That’s exactly where my protagonist, Rodrick, finds himself. He’s standing at the crossroads of fate, her veins pulsing with the mystery of his family’s bloodline. Talk about pressure, right? Writing the story has been a rollercoaster of emotions. There were days when I was so deep into her world that I’d look up from my laptop and be surprised I wasn’t actually surrounded by mythological landscapes. The thrill of crafting those scenes where the gods meddle in mortal affairs or where Rodrick faces his own inner demons is what fuels my passion. It’s like watching your imagination come to life, word by word.
What are the themes and subjects you tend to revisit in your work?
The heart of this series is resilience. Rodrick and Arcelia’s (the second lead) journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and courage in the face of the unknown. I think we all have a bit of that in us, don’t you? That little spark that refuses to be extinguished, no matter how fierce the storm. I hope people discover their own strength along the way.
What happened in your life that prompted you to become a writer?
For me, becoming a writer was like stumbling upon an old but new art form. There wasn’t a single defining moment but rather a series of small epiphanies. Growing up, I was always that kid with my nose buried in books, enchanted by the worlds that seemed to leap off the pages. Then, one day, I realized I had stories of my own to tell. And with the encouragement of my parents, I was able to!
