About Wendy

WENDY HEUVEL is Canadian by birth, Dutch by blood, and British by heart. As a child, she actively read every Nancy Drew book she could find and regularly watched Murder, She Wrote and British mysteries with her dad. Her love of mystery had her frequently knocking on walls in old houses, searching for passageways and cases to solve.

Her current adventure consists of residing on 26 wooded acres with her husband, four kids (Things 1, 2, 3, &4), three floofy kitties, and one monster dog. She’s passionate about Christian mission work, world travelling, birding, and eating potatoes.
