Wendi Starusnak lives in Phoenix, New York with her husband, six of their eight children (the others have grown and are living their own stories while still remaining strong characters in their parents' story), her mother-in-law, and their little dog that thinks he's a person. Wendi enjoys writing the darker stuff and hopes to be a voice against abuse. She began writing as a small child and whenever the question of what she wanted to be when she grew up was asked, she responded with, "a published author."
