Winchinchala turns her rare gift to writing the drama she finds in ordinary life. Her signature command of dialogue, sensual descriptions and clear prose are, at times, reminiscent of a few of her favorite authors, Tennessee Williams, Anas Nin and Ernest Hemingway. Like the latter, she has led a wild and peri-nomadic life that has taken her around the world, but her tales spring from characters' psyches.

More DescriptionWinchinchala turns her rare gift to writing the drama she finds in ordinary life. Her signature command of dialogue, sensual descriptions and clear prose are, at times, reminiscent of a few of her favorite authors, Tennessee Williams, Anas Nin and Ernest Hemingway. Like the latter, she has led a wild and peri-nomadic life that has taken her around the world, but her tales spring from characters' psyches. Motivated by lust or beleaguered by loneliness and the need for attention, they experience sexual awakenings, fantasies and inner conflicts. "Humans are, all too often, at the mercy of love, the need for connectedness or idealized happy endings. They unwittingly make poor choices, compromise their values, cache who they really are inside themselves, and then wake up to realize they are in circumstances and with those they don't want. Of course, change is the answer, but--sigh--that usually involves something scary, the unknown. To avoid either they will sadly suffer belligerence, humiliation, hitting, toothpaste on the sink, snoring that sounds like drunken buffalo, displeasure between the sheets, infidelity and on and on. They remain witting victims of decisions that proved bad or were bad to begin with. They drink, snipe, and stray from their desired paths." In short, her characters give us an insightful look at the complicated simplicity of the never ending business of being Only Human.
