About Author Don M. Winn
Don Winn is the award-winning author of the middle grade chapter book The Knighting of Sir Kaye. Additionally he has written ten award-winning children's picture books, including Superhero; Space Cop Zack, Protector of the Galaxy; The Higgledy-Piggledy Pigeon; Twitch the Squirrel and the Forbidden Bridge; and Shelby the Cat.

Don has been writing for over 20 years. His whimsical poetry and prose served as a natural springboard for his transition to writing children's picture books. He enjoys speaking with children on school visits and at the students' request, he began writing books for older readers. This resulted in the launch of the Sir Kaye adventure series. Don is a sterling example of tenacity and persistence (not unlike Sir Kaye). He has overcome many obstacles, including dyslexia, in order to achieve his dream of being an author.

Progressive Rising Phoenix recognizes that the publishing industry has changed. Our program is not a fit for every author, and every author isn't a fit for Progressive Rising Phoenix. Authors cover their production cost, receive higher royalties and larger discounts. We offer additional print options and a co-op environment that authors can't obtain on their own. We're building a select list; for this reason we do not solicit authors, but do accept submissions.
