Wendy M. Neugent writes the kind of historical mysteries she wished she could have read as a young history buff.Her History Detective Club series weaves together pulse-pounding adventures with carefully researched historical details that make the past come alive. After all, she doesn't think learning history should feel like homework. Her novel Seeds of Rebellion was named the 2026 Children's Book International Award Winner for Historical Fiction, recognizing excellence in children's literature.A former Colonial Williamsburg tour guide, Wendy draws on her firsthand experience to create immersive, historically rich stories.Her debut adult mystery, Murder Takes a Bow, was a Cozy Mystery Indie of the Year Finalist.One foggy night, walking down an empty Duke of Gloucester Street after finishing her last tour, a figure in colonial dress emerged from the mist and said, "Good evening, miss." For just a moment, Wendy truly felt as though she had slipped back to 1774-and it was then that the "seeds" of Rose's story began to form.Wendy writes her books at her home in Virginia alongside her cat, Apurrham Lincoln, who provides unsolicited "editing" services.
