Wendy J. Dunn is an Australian writer who has been obsessed by Anne Boleyn and Tudor History since she was ten years old. She is the author of two Tudor novels: "Dear Heart, How Like You This?," the winner of the 2003 Glyph Fiction Award and 2004 runner up in the Eric Hoffer Award for Commercial Fiction, and "The Light in the Labyrinth," her first young adult novel. Born in Melbourne, Australia, Wendy is married and the mother of three sons and one daughter--named after a certain Tudor queen, surprisingly, not Anne. She gained her Doctorate of Philosophy (Writing) from Swinburne University in 2014. Wendy also tutors at Swinburne University in their Master of Arts (Writing) program.
THE LIGHT IN THE LABYRINTH has been honoured with the
B.R.A.G.Medallion (Book Readers Appreciation Group). It now joins
the very select award-winning, reader-recommended books at
indieBRAG.
The Light in the Labyrinth offers a powerful new perspective on the
tragic life of Anne Boleyn. Told from the point of view of Anne's
young niece, newly arrived at the court of Henry VIII, it presents
an original, sympathetic and moving portrait of the queen's final
days and offers new insights into the lives and relationships of
women in Tudor England" - Dr Julian Novitz, award winning author of
My Real Life and Other Stories and Little Sister. "...The Light in
the Labyrinth is quite the read - no matter the age of the reader.
And yes, thanks to Kate, a new voice has been added to the
well-known haunting melody - a voice that mellows and matures as
the story evolves and yet retains a touch of bittersweet innocence
right to the bloody, inevitable end" - Anna Belfrage for The
Review."...I never felt like I was reading a teen read. Although it
is a historical novel with a 16th century heroine, its themes will
resonate with a teen audience - identity, self-discovery, family
issues/step-parents, love, betrayal and loss - and any lover of
historical fiction will enjoy revisiting Anne's fall from a
different perspective" Claire Ridgway, Author and Tudor history
buff."It is exactly the type of novel that draws youth into a
life-long love of history" Beth von Staats.
