Current Projects

Wendy is currently working on her novel, Firelight: Noelle, which has been workshopped in three competitive-admission classes, including The Writers' Institute at the Graduate Center CUNY and two sessions at UCLA Extension Level 5 Master Classes. This ongoing project reflects her commitment to honing her craft and engaging with readers through compelling narratives.

Coming Soon: The Firelight Series

Introduction to Firelight: Noelle

Firelight: Noelle marks the beginning of an enchanting series of fantasy novels set against the backdrop of the occult in modern-day New York City. The story opens in Louisiana, where Noelle, an orphaned fairy, is raised among humans. Living a seemingly ordinary life, her world is turned upside down when she spontaneously takes flight during a rehearsal for The Nutcracker.

Noelle's Unique Challenges

As a teenager, Noelle faces an extraordinary dilemma—she discovers that she cannot kiss her boyfriend without igniting the forest around her. While blessed with a fairy's ethereal beauty, her years in college transform her into a sharp-tongued wisecracker, navigating life dateless and determined.

A Journey to Discover Her True Self

Upon graduating, Noelle relocates to Manhattan to pursue her dreams at Columbia Teacher’s College in a graduate dance program. She is on a quest to find her birth family, uncover her true identity, and explore the possibility of finding love—without necessitating a call to the fire department.

A Twist of Fate

However, upon her arrival in Manhattan, Noelle is unexpectedly kidnapped by a Dalca Lord and thrust into a conflict among three rival Fae tribes: the Dalca, the Grendel, and her own tribe, the Cielon. The Dalca, known as the robber barons of the Fae realm, possess immunity to Noelle's explosive powers, allowing for a unique intimacy that could change the course of the war. Furthermore, Noelle harbors a precious gift that the Dalca crave—her ability to bear long-lived, magical offspring.

A Series of Intriguing Tales

Firelight: Noelle is the first of three novels exploring a hidden world of supernatural beings lurking in the shadows of Manhattan. Each installment will introduce a new protagonist, with Finley and Sophie making their debut in this 95,000-word standalone book. Originally titled Firelight: Elizabeth, this captivating novel underwent rigorous development, having been workshopped in three competitive-admission classes: The Writers' Institute at the Graduate Center CUNY and twice at UCLA Extension Level 5 Master Classes.
