Wendy L. Googe is a native of Jackson, Tennessee, and has been fascinated with the Fae since she was a young girl. She is a classically trained singer and has served for many years as cantor for her local church. Googe has a great love for all of God's creation and can often be found out in nature singing and whistling vintage fairy tunes. She is also the mother of a special needs child and is a fierce advocate for individuals with disabilities and medical complexities. Googe lives with her two children, her Cardigan Welsh Corgis, a green-eyed Tabico cat, and a menagerie of magical creatures. "Raspberry Maude" is Googe's first book and is part one in her Tales from the Fairy Realms series.
