Wanda Dyson
 | | Name: Wanda Dyson
Position: Appointment Coordinator
Conference Task(s): Schedule conferee appointments with Editors and Agents, schedule critiques for conferees with authors Website: http://www.WandaDyson.com
Contact Email: Wanda@acfw.com
Hailed by critics as an author that "gives up none of the pace and terror of the best secular crime thrillers while keeping a strong story of faith at its center," Wanda's latest release Shepherd's Fall from Random House/Waterbrook, hit the shelves in April of this year and was met by great reviews.
When she's not writing crime thrillers, Wanda can be found scheduling appointments for several Christian Writers conferences, riding her horses, raising rare "Silkies," dozing in the hammock with a good book, or taking her daughter four-wheeling.
Wanda and her daughter, Jayme, live on a 125 acre farm with 13 horses, a pony, 2 rabbits, 3 dogs, 4 barn cats, and somewhere around 60 chickens. Farm fresh eggs anyone? |
