Alan Winter was born in Newark, NJ and graduated from Livingston High School. He graduated with honors in history from Rutgers College. Alan earned professional degrees from both Columbia and NYU, where he was on faculty at both. "Someone Else's Son" plums the question: what would you do if you discovered you took the wrong baby home from the hospital? Written before DNA testing, this heart-wrenching story is every parents' worst fear. "Snowflakes in the Sahara" is current in so many ways. Besides addressing the ever-worsening climate crisis, this prescient story chronicles how a real-estate tycoon from New York City teams up with a cult leader to take over the White House. In the process, a war is started with Iraq, Saddaam Hussein is murdered, an iconic NYC building is bombed, there is an anthrax fear, and the real estate tycoon turns his sites to taking over Canada. Sound familiar? It was published in 1999. "Savior's Day," tackles historical fiction, based on real events, with a contemporary spin. Kirkus Review made it a Best Book Selection of 2013 not only comparing it to Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" but saying it was "better written." "Savior's Day" is a tale of how a 1000-year-old Bible survives disaster after to disaster only to be shrouded in a mystery that the Mossad cannot answer. It speaks to hope. It portrays a real-life African-American hero few know about and it tackles problems the countries in the Middle East face today. "Island Bluffs," couples little known facts about the German submarines sinking 400 boats off the U.S. eastern seaboard during WWII in which a town's long-kept secrets are about to be revealed. Reminiscent of Ira Levin's "Boys from Brazil," with a modern-day scientific twist, "Island Bluffs" will satisfy history buffs and lovers of suspense novels alike . . . and reveal the horrifying realities of the neo-Nazis that lived as "neighbors" in New JerseyI. The protagonist, Carly Mason, was also the main character in "Snowflakes in the Sahara." "Wolf" is co-authored with Herbert J. Stern. It is an historical novel that pulls back the curtain on secrets historians have failed to reveal regarding Hitler and how the Nazis came to power close to 100 years ago. Meticulously researched, it changes the historiography of what is known about one of the most evil periods in human history. And, as liberties were taken from the German people, as the rule of law was abandoned, the reader can't help but relate to the assault on democracy today. "Sins of the Fathers" is the second volume in the trilogy that began with "Wolf." Also co-authored with Herbert J. Stern, it depicts the lives of real characters––German military leaders, politicians, and clergy––who formed a clandestine group to overthrow Adolf Hitler and his regime in September 1938. The coup was moments away from being launched when British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made his historic flight to Munich to appease Hitler and obtain "Peace in our time.""Sins of the Fathers" reveals the amazing story of how WWII and the Holocaust might have been averted. Alan's newest book, "When Ashes Cried," completes the Holocaust Trilogy. It will be published sometime during the summer or fall of 2025. Written by Winter alone, it brings a stunning conclusion to what happens to Friedrich and the other beloved characters in the first two volumes. In "Ashes," the reader witnesses how Friedrich turns the tide of the war as only he can do.. The stunning ending will leave the reader breathless.
