Winter Morgan is not a real person. It's the pen name for an author of numerous kids' books and books for adults, including The Quest for the Diamond Sword: A Minecraft Gamer's Adventure. This author has also published countless articles in magazines and newspapers your parents read. As with a user name in Minecraft and other online games, it's wise to use a pseudonym, and it's also cool to do (if you can) when writing books. The author does have a Minecraft-addicted son, who inspired the story, and a daughter who is very accommodating since her little brother monopolizes the computer creating mods and mining for diamonds. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
