Wendi is a graduate of Nassau Community College and Adelphi University, and holds a degree in Psychology. She decided to stay at home when her triplets were born. Having always been an avid reader and adoring fan of Jane Austen, when the triplets were old enough that she was able to find a little time to herself, Wendi searched the internet and discovered a treasure trove of “fan fiction” written by fellow Janeites. At first, experiencing Austen’s stories from several different characters’ points of view caught her interest, but then she branched off into reading sequels, “what if” stories, and even modernized versions of Austen’s tales. 

Though she had always aspired to become a writer, it was not until Wendi awakened from a dream and realized that the story could become a terrific tale that she made a serious attempt. In the midst of penning a number of short stories and posting them online, in 2010, she wrote her first draft of a novel-length Dreams & Expectations. Wendi then went on to write another novel-length story, Promises, published in 2011. Soon after, she published All Hallow's Eve.

Wendi continues to live on Long Island with her husband of twenty-three years, her son, and two daughters.
