Do dolor anim ad ut magna enim dolor in. Culpa qui   Ex labore enim Wendy Lindstrom is the winner of Romance Writers of America's prestigious Golden Heart and RITA Awards.  Romantic Times BOOKclub dubs her "one of romance's finest Americana writers."  Romance Reviews Today calls Shades of Honor "A perfect ten...one story that should not be missed!"    About Wendy I was born and raised in upstate New York.  We didn't cut the grass in the country.  It grew waist high across vast fields where I played with my seven siblings.  We were as wild and untended as the billowing sweet grass, nurtured by the rich, black earth and warm sunshine.  We swam in a shallow creek and made forts in the corn field where I would lie beneath the enormous blue sky and imagine epic adventures. Alone I would haunt the forest, sharing my stories with the trees.  I hugged them like fathers, pressing my face against their bark to feel their energy; a deeply furrowed oak, a scaly pine, a smooth beech, all welcoming my skinny arms and childish cheek.  Thirty feet in the air, I would perch on their limbs, feeling safe beneath the leafy canopy that sheltered me from summer rain. There I would dream.  There I would become the heroine of the stories I imagined.  There I began my life as a writer. It took three decades to understand that persistent impulse and get the stories in my head on paper.  My award-winning Grayson Brothers series, set in 19th Century Fredonia, echoes the sounds and smells of my childhood.  Like me, my characters are driven to understand what it means to be alive, to be naked to each experience, to fully embrace the unknown. I don't climb trees any more, but I try to keep my youthful spirit alive and counter the undesirable affects of my sedentary job by practicing tai chi, kickboxing, combat fitness, and karate. Writing is my passion, but it can be a somewhat lonely profession, so I'm thrilled to be writing the next Grayson book with my sister and childhood playmate (guest author Gail Lindstrom).  I'm looking forward to the work, the laughs, and what promises to be another amazing adventure.  Sign up for Shout Out! and we'll let you know when the book is available.
