Book Banter EP 72: Wendy Jo Cerna Interview



Hello My Happy People,


Today I am joined by inspirational author, Wendy Jo Cerna. Wendy Jo grew up in Minnesota, the daughter of educators. She fondly remembers family trips with her brothers in the back seat of the family station wagon as one source of her creativity.


Wendy Jo discovered a love of theater in high-school and followed her passion through college. After graduating with a degree in Theater Arts from the University of Washington, Wendy Jo married her college sweetheart. The couple settled in the Seattle area and built their family there.


It wasn't until 2015 when Wendy Jo felt a divine calling to become a writer and share stories she felt needed to be told. With her children grown and other responsibilities needing less of her daily attention, Wendy Jo felt the time was right to follow her heart and begin her writing career.


From Wendy Jo's website:

"As I write, I sometimes feel as if I am still travelling in the back seat of a station wagon with my Jesus at the wheel and my characters as my companions filling my heart with their stories as we traverse both life on the planet and that which is to come. Can’t wait to see what’s up around the bend."
