WENDY S SIMONS

Always on a constant search for the underpinnings of a life, Simons writes

narratives full of rich character studies. Weaving them all into multiple

timelines gives each character the opportunity for transformation.

STONE BY STONE was begun when Simons lived in Flat Rock and Chimney Rock, North

Carolina. Because of her love of the area and her heartbreak over its

devastation from Hurricane Helene, Simons is donating her royalties to its

recovery, for however long it takes.

The common thread between A SECOND LOOK, LOSING AUGUST, and WEEDING OUT THE LIES

is the fictional town of Edgewater, Michigan, on the southern shore of Lake

Michigan.

Each novel offers a character driven narrative. Similar in writing style to Ann

Patchett, Fern Michaels and Nicholas Sparks.
