Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when a lifelong storyteller finally answers the call to write? In this episode, we sit down with Wendy, a former special education teacher turned multi-genre author, to explore her inspiring journey from the classroom to the page. From her emotionally rich novel The Flannigan Girls to her upcoming release Regret No More, Wendy shares how love, trauma, and personal experience shape her stories for both children and adults. We dive into the art of writing across genres, the influence of teaching and motherhood, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Honest, heartfelt, and full of insight, this conversation is a must-listen for writers looking to follow their joy—and their voice.SHOW NOTES:BiographyWomen’s FictionImpact of TeachingMulti-Genre WritingPersonal Connections in WritingWriting ProcessLessons Learned the Hard WayRapid Fire QuestionsSOURCES & LINKShttps://www.wendyhallerauthor.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WendyHallerAuthorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendyhaller_author/Sign up for her newsletter!
