Wendy B. Truscott
BIO
Biography

Wendy Truscott has been inspired and shaped by the  Muskoka district of Ontario, Canada, for seventy years, as both a seasonal cottager and a permanent resident. Most significantly, this is where she met her amazing husband. Muskoka’s rich history provides the setting for her first two published novels, Haunted Journey and MacGregor’s Curse. Although her latest book, Dead Serious  (published by Winged Publications) is set elsewhere, she just couldn’t resist adding a couple of chapters about the allure of Muskoka where her main character escapes the truly frightening events that have begun to occur in her life.

A former teacher and Domestic Goddess (stay-at-home mom), Wendy discovered her creative side somewhat late in life. Always an avid reader, she has become equally passionate about writing and painting. A keen interest in genealogy led to writing extensive family histories, and a memoir-writing class resulted in her first novel and even some poetry. Two poems are included in the Northern Ontario Poetry Collection 2015, and Muskoka Seniors magazine has published several of her articles. Among her memoirs, Wendy enjoys including anecdotes of life experiences, often comical, which she hopes future generations will enjoy.
