DASHEL WINCHESTER
Proud Purveyor of the Wild, Weird, & Wondrous! Born and raised in Oregon, Dash Winchester grew up surrounded by towering evergreens, abandoned logging roads, forgotten mining towns, and the enduring folklore of the Pacific Northwest. Those landscapes—and the mysteries hidden within them—became the foundation of a lifelong fascination with strange history, unexplained phenomena, and the stories that linger just beyond the edge of the campfire’s glow.
Now calling Southern California home, Dash continues to draw inspiration from the rugged beauty and compelling history of the American West. Every road trip, ghost town, weathered trail marker, and forgotten landmark becomes another piece of inspiration for the High Strangeness Series, beginning with RIDGEWALKERS, a collection of stories that blends suspense, folklore, historical fiction, and cryptid legends into immersive adventures. Whether exploring tales of Sasquatch, abandoned settlements, or unexplained disappearances, each story is rooted in real places and authentic regional history while embracing the strange possibilities that make the Pacific Northwest so captivating.

Above all, I hope you’ll join me in seeking the mysteries of our world with an empathetic heart and a curious mind.
