Wendi relied on her family's personal experiences to write her book.
Wendi, her husband, and three young daughters have adopted three greyhounds. They also care for two Main Coon cats, two cockatiels and a veiled chameleon.

Wendi was an adoption Rep for four years, and has helped many families blend greyhounds with small children and other pets. Wendi, along with her two-legged and four-legged family, live in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. She is a member of Monica's Heart Greyhound Adoptions.

"I would be remiss in not mentioning the driving force behind this book and the other books to come: my mentor, editor and publisher, Candace Sinclair, owner of The Writer's Mentor http://www.thewritersmentor.com. I tell everyone that when you work with professionals, it shows. Thank you Candace."

We Adopted a Greyhound is the first in a series of Read and Learn books about retired racing greyhounds.
