Facebook:www.facebook.com/pages/Wendy-Leighton... Wendy lives in France with her husband who is also a writer. After spending 20 years as a teacher of French, Latin and Classical studies, her career took a new direction when she turned her hand to writing Middle Grade fiction. "The Shadow of Atlantis" is the first in a series of time-travel adventures, featuring 3 children and a rather special feline hero, the inimitable Max. She has recently completed the 17th book, "The Shadow of the Great Fire", telling the story of a famous historical event that took place in 1666. As she takes her young readers on a magical mystery tour through the past, she's hoping that her love of history, myth and legend will rub off on them too.
