A journey through haunted forests, through dreams and time. A story of magic and the power of forgiveness. A Tzanatzi outcast and an Einache shaman are on the trail of an ancient curse. Will they save their people from destruction?
Wendy Gillissen (Delft, 1969) has always been fascinated by dreams and the supernatural.
After graduating as a Clinical Psychologist, she specialized in dreamwork and past life therapy. She taught her first course in dreamwork in 1998. Since 2002 Wendy works as a licensed past life therapist.
The urge to write and her love for the world of castles, elves and ghosts stem from the time she was five years old and her parents first took her to the ancient hills of England, Scotland and Wales.
After an inspiring visit to the Greek island of Cephalonia in 2005, Wendy began writing Curse of the Tahiera.
Initially, Curse of the Tahiera started life as a short story but when Yldich walked into the tale of his own accord, it became clear Wendy had something else on her hands altogether.
For months, Rom and Yldich kept her busy with their adventures, springing scenes from the story on her at the oddest times, and soon it felt as if she was actually sharing her house with them.
Although a little overwhelming, the process of writing proved amazingly fulfilling and inspiring and as she was completing the first book, ideas for a sequel already came flooding in.
Creative inspiration also sparked in other areas and since 2006 Wendy creates handmade jewellery inspired by ancient symbols and cultures.
In 2007 Wendy became a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. She is currently taking the Bardic course.
In her spare time Wendy plays the Celtic harp. She likes to share her progress on her youtube channel.
