Autorenporträt

Born in Kenton, Wendy Worley grew up in Beaconsfield on the edge of the Chilterns. She now lives on the Mendip Hills near Frome. As a child, Wendy always had her nose in a book, and spent many hours browsing in the local library. However, her working career began as a scientist with a brief spell in the Met Office and then building research. She completed an Open University degree before combining work as a school science technician with running the library at Somervale School in Midsomer Norton. Later, as a full-time librarian at Sidcot, Wendy immersed herself in children's literature and learning. One of the highlights of managing a school library was organising author events and meeting a host of talented authors inspired Wendy to start writing, which has now become a full-time occupation. She is a regular book reviewer for the School Library Association and is an active member of the Frome Writers' Collective, which supports and promotes writers in the Frome area.
