Bücher von Wendy Percival

Wendy Percival was born in the West Midlands and brought up in the Worcestershire countryside. After training as a primary school teacher she moved to North Devon in 1980 to take up her first teaching post and remained in teaching for twenty years. An impulse buy of 'Writing Magazine' inspired her to start writing seriously. She won 'Writing Magazine's Summer Ghost Story competition in 2002 and had a short story published in 'The People's Friend' before focusing on full-length fiction. The time honoured 'box of old documents in the attic' stirred her interest in genealogy and became the inspiration for the Esme Quentin Mysteries - 'Blood-Tied', 'The Indelible Stain', for which she received the indieBRAG medallion (Book Readers Appreciation Group), and a novella, 'Death of a Cuckoo'. When she's not writing fiction, Wendy conducts her own family history research, sharing her finds on her blog, www.familyhistorysecrets.blogspot.com. She's also had articles published in Shropshire 'Family History Society's quarterly journal and in 'Family Tree magazine'. Wendy lives in a thatched cottage beside a thirteenth-century church with her husband and a particularly talkative cat. You can find more on her website www.wendypercival.co.uk.
