Autorenporträt
The time honoured 'box of old documents in the attic' stirred Wendy Percival's interest in genealogy and what she discovered became the inspiration behind her Esme Quentin mystery novels. Wendy shares the intriguing, sometimes shocking, discoveries in her own family history on her website blog and has had several articles published in Shropshire Family History Society's quarterly journal and in Family Tree magazine. She lives in South West England in a thatched cottage beside a 13th century church with her husband and their particularly talkative cat. You can find out more on her website, www.wendypercival.co.uk
