Show Notes
In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with award-winning mystery writer Wendy H. Jones, about her journey to become an author-preneur.
Wendy had enjoyed a successful army career, and was a respected academic, when a sudden illness rendered her disabled and unable to move from her chair. This turn of events prompted her to rethink what she wanted from life and gave her the opportunity to fulfil her life-long dream to write a book.
Seventeen books later, Wendy is now an international best-selling and award-winning author, who loves inspiring and guiding the next generation of writers.
