During my 5 years in Adelaide, Australia, I completed several writing courses at the WEA. When my partner, son (5 months), dog and I moved back to NZ we lived in a house truck for 3 years while our off-the-grid house was planned and built. During this period I wrote on a solar powered laptop and completed many correspondence courses from the AWA.

I write adult fantasy, children’s novels and I’m currently branching into romance. I write under different names for different genres: WJ Scott for Children’s Books; Wendy Scott ~ YA / Fantasy and Wendy Jayne for Romance.

In 2012 my children’s MS Hieroglyph was selected for the NZSA MS Assessment Programme and was further selected for one of five mini-mentorships. It was the Gold Medal winner in the 9 - 12 years section of the Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2015, and took a Silver Medal in the 2016 Readers' Favorite Book Award, Children/Preteen category.

When I’m not glued to my laptop writing or engrossed in a book, I love walking my dog on the wild West Coast beaches and trolling for sea glass, riding my bike or going for bush walks. I always wished I could fly so maybe that’s why I love roller coasters. I’m a connoisseur of coffee and chocolate and I counter my addictions with Zumba and Spin classes. I believe life is an adventure and we should all live a life less ordinary.

I am now offering authors Editorial Reviews that can be used on all promotional material such as Amazon book pages, Goodreads, book blurbs and blogs.
