Wendy was stricken with wanderlust early on when she climbed onto her roof just to watch the sunset over the Utah mountains. She’s perpetually planning trips she may never take and loves nothing more than climbing mountains with her family. She has an MFA from Lesley University in Writing for Young People and teaches English at Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Nebraska. Her essays appear in BYU’s Inscape, Segullah, and SCC’s Illuminations. She also writes middle grade fiction with the strong belief that kids deserve good books, and she deserves the steady dose of wondering and wandering inherent in a creative life.
