Author: Wendy L. Koenig

I was born in Colorado, but raised on a small homestead in Illinois. I served in the USAF right out of high school. After my stint in the military was finished, I returned home and had a horse stable. My first piece to be printed was a short children’s fiction, Jet’s Stormy Adventure, serialized in The Illinois Horse Network. It was a natural fit, given my business. Later, I attended University of Iowa's famed summer workshops and writing programs. Since that time, I have authored and co-authored numerous books. Several of my novels and short stories have won international awards and have appeared in multiple venues.

Tip #13

When people come see you at a show, reading, signing, whatever, give them something to take home.

I use bookmarks. Who doesn’t need more of those? I’m always losing mine. And they’re pretty, too. Most people have gotten so used to logos on their clothes, or on nearly everything they own. They won’t throw them away.

These are things they’ll see when I’m not around. A visual reminder of me.
