We had a lovely conversation with Wendy L. Anderson, who is an indie author of eight fantasy novels (so far!) and quite a few coming up!

She shared her author journey, which started in early ages but took a little while to get it going... nevertheless, just like any determined indie author, she started publishing one book after another.

Here is the timeline:
