Wendy Alexander is a wordsmith, passionate storyteller and avid reader. She has been in love with words since her father made them come alive for her as a young child through bedtime stories and reading the classics like Dickens, Shakespeare and Austin with her. One of the ways she escaped the harsh realities of life as a woman of colour through the darkest years of Apartheid in South Africa was to disappear into literature. She has been writing since the age of six. A finalist in the 2012 Hay House Insights Writing Competition and author of two non-fiction books about family, relationships, cultural ties and life lessons, Wendy continues her love affair with words every day through daily journaling, resume writing, presentations and fiction writing through two Young Adult novels she is currently progressing.
