Wendy was born in the heart of London and grew up on the shores of the Indian Ocean in Durban, South Africa. Coached in Speech and Drama from the age of eight,immediately after leaving school, she trained in speech and drama and music paving the way for an intensive creative career that would span the next twenty years.
The early 90's saw her enter the advertising industry as a copywriter, then creative director of a TV commercial production house before launching with her husband the UK and Europe’s first religious television channel on Rupert Murdoch’s SKY platform in the UK in 1995.
As TV Network Controller and Creative Director, Wendy was mastermind behind the Channel’s creative international branding and programming. Twelve years later, in a whirlwind turn of events, GOD TV is over half the size of CNN, now broadcasting eight separate 24 hour television channels to over 450 million global viewers, the most recent launch to 16 million homes on the Direct TV platform broadcasting across the USA.
In between her highly demanding schedule, between the years 1999 and 2005, Wendy conceptualized the "BROTHERS FILM TRILOGY PROJECT". During these years,she received several intensive one to one coaching sessions in screenplay writing from two of Hollywood’s most respected screenplay doctors, eventually completing the first draft of the trilogy screenplay in 2004.
Too busy with the rapidly expanding global television network to start the film development process, Wendy decided to initially develop the project into a seven book epic fantasy series ‘CHRONICLES OF BROTHERS’. By January 2006 the UK version of the first novel of the Chronicles of brothers series ‘THE FALL OF LUCIFER‘ based on the first screenplay was completed.
Self published by WARBOYS in the UK in February 2006, debuting in just a few select stores across the UK, word of mouth spread, a cult following developed rapidly and by April WARBOYS had on their hands the beginnings of a home grown phenomena, Fall of Lucifer even available in Harrods, London.
In November 2007, the second novel in the series ‘MESSIAH - THE FIRST JUDGEMENT’was released as a hardback in the UK. By the third weekend of release,self published, ‘MESSIAH’ had charted at number two on the Waterstones' Sci-fi / Fantasy chart and had broken the elusive 100 barrier rating on Amazon.
A hardback version of ‘FALL OF LUCIFER’ is planned for 2008 as well as the release of ‘SON OF PERDITION’.
Wendy currently lives in Cornwall, England with her husband, two teenagers, a strange cat and two Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
