Wendy Etherington

Wendy Etherington was born and raised in the deep South—and she has the fried chicken recipes and NASCAR ticket stubs to prove it. Though a voracious reader since childhood, she spent much of her professional life in business and computer pursuits. Finally giving in to those creative impulses, she began writing, and in 1999 she sold her first book. She has been a finalist for many awards—including the Booksellers’ Best Award and several Romantic Times Bookclub awards. In 2006, she was honored by Georgia Romance Writers as the winner of the Maggie Award. She writes full-time (when she’s not watching racing) from her home in South Carolina, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.
