Spring 2009 I sat outside writing and listening to Muse. Spring 2025, I'm still sitting outside writing and listening to Muse.

If there's anything I love writing & and reading, it's the found family trope.

Wendy 📚 @wendolynwrites.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

So you take a widow, give her a mystery & her soul crushing need to find her missing best friend... And then you add in a fae bargain. What do you get? A book with an incredible kick *ss FMC and a slow burn romance that will leave you swearing at the end of the book. (In a good way)

Wendy 📚 @wendolynwrites.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

There's something delicious about writing settings that are equal parts cozy and unsettling. Wouldn't you want to visit a Victorian mansion and enjoy a picnic on the grounds or wait until dusk for a glimpse at wisps? linktr.ee/wendolynwrites

When my thoughts become a buzz at the back of my mind, often the only quote that passes through is from The Little Mermaid. "She laughed and danced with the thought of death in her heart." The world is harsh, but I can't stop moving.

If I had a nickel for every book I read this weekend where someone's fae spouse came back from the dead, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot... But seriously? Two separate book series/authors and I just happened to pick up the one's where some faery faked their death 😅

I was feeling down so I went outside to pull weeds and then came back in to make banana bread. Did it fix anything? Not really. But apparently music and low effort tasks can actually distract the anxious part of your brain.

Please check out my IG for the whole story…but we are in desperate need for a vehicle and I’m trying to raise the funds. Our son had a bad breakthrough seizure today. It’s amplified our need for a second vehicle since my husband works far and we don’t have help. Please share🧡

I'm writing a witchy little romance novel with a demon hunter love interest, a protagonist with a terrible lease and a wonderful bookshop, and a cozy seaside city full of magical creatures and more than a few mishaps and misadventures. Yes, I do use books as a form of escapism, why do you ask? 😅

Wendy 📚 @wendolynwrites.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I've got a book coming out Friday and I fear that I have fully fallen off promoting it properly. If you want a novel about a chronically-ill witch stomping through a sentient library in search of hidden magic that just might save her friends & realm... this book is for you. linktr.ee/wendolynwrites

Dark photo collage background, quote that reads ""Stop lying to yourself." She clenched her teeth together and drew a shallow breath. As always, Penumbra's bitter atmosphere wound around her and clung to her hair. "You live for necessity. The sheer strength of the human soul yearning for hope, even when everything sucks."

Okay lovelies, I've never been good at gardening but I'm really trying to give it a go. I've already found a bunch of native plants that I like the sound of... but I'm worried about inevitably forgetting them. Any good gardening apps out there?

I made sunbutter cups today (think Reese's but with sunflower seed butter)... And I found myself near tears. Why? Because the last time I made them, they were for my terminally ill neighbor. Eating was difficult, but he was so happy to have them. He's gone now, but the memory remains.

Me anytime someone asks me what I do: ...I'm a writer? Also me: Has published 5 novels to date (6th comes out next month), seen those books in stores, been interviewed over them, and a shop (Salient books) is selling MERCHANDISE based off of one of them. Imposter syndrome is wild.
