Wendy J. Dunn

WENDY J. DUNN is an award-winning Australian writer fascinated by Tudor history - so much so she was not surprised to discover a family connection to the Tudors, not long after the publication of her first Anne Boleyn novel, which narrated the Anne Boleyn story through the eyes of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the elder. Her family tree reveals the intriguing fact that one of her ancestral families - possibly over three generations - had purchased land from both the Boleyn and Wyatt families to build up their holdings. It seems very likely Wendy's ancestors knew the Wyatts and Boleyns personally.

Wendy is married, the mother of four adult children and the grandmother of two amazing small boys. She gained her PhD in 2014 and loves walking in the footsteps of the historical people she gives voice to in her books. Wendy also tutors writing at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. Henry VIII's True Daughter: Catherine Carey, A Tudor Life is her first full-length nonfiction work.
