Wendy grew up wanting to rule the world-- or at least be the CEO of Coca-Cola. Then she discovered two literary giants: Harlequin romance novels and Louis Grizzard. For those of you above the Mason Dixon line, he was a renowned-- or was it infamous?-- writer and Southern humorist. Who knew these three passions would someday blend together into a career? These days she gets to create a world she rules with her keyboard, and write about enduring love with a comedic twist.
Born and raised in the deep South-- with the accent and fried chicken recipes to prove it-- Wendy now lives in the Midwest with her husband and two children.
