Debut Author Podcast: Wendy Haller

Wendy Haller has always believed in the power of stories—the ones we tell, the ones we live, and the ones that change us along the way. After nearly two decades as a special education preschool teacher, she traded lesson plans for plotlines and now writes the kinds of stories that tug at the heart. Her children’s books are playful and full of purpose, crafted for parents and kids to share teachable moments with laughter and love. Her novels, meanwhile, offer a tender escape—emotionally rich, coming-of-age tales that feel raw, real, and deeply human. When not writing, Wendy can be found wandering nature trails, unrolling her yoga mat, or curled up with a cup of tea, a book, and two very spoiled cats.
