Wendy Hinote Lanier is a former elementary teacher, author, and CLASS certified speaker who writes and speaks on a variety of topics related to children, writing, parenting, and Christian living. She writes both fiction and nonfiction for children, and articles and devotional pieces for adults. Her writing credits include titles for Iron Stream Media, Focus Readers, State Standards Publishing, ABDO Publishing, Lerner Books, KidHaven Press, Lucent Books, and Capstone Press as well as articles in on-line and print publications such as Highlights for Children and Clubhouse Magazine.
Wendy’s educational background includes a B.S. in Speech Communications Disorders, an M.S. in Speech Language Pathology, and an M.Ed. in Elementary Education. During her teaching career, Wendy spent more than 18 years in Texas public and private schools specializing in the areas of science, social studies, and language arts. Some of her favorite times as a teacher include the seven years she spent as a fourth-grade science teacher.
The quintessential Texan, Wendy firmly believes everything is bigger and better in Texas. Her Texas humor shines through in just about everything she does. And, like most Texans, she loves her fur babies. She is currently mom to two, much loved rescue dogs who are the inspiration for many of her devotional pieces and Bible study lessons. Both dogs were throw-aways whose lives dramatically changed for the better the day they became part of the Lanier household. They spend their days doing pretty much as they please while being waited on hand and paw by Wendy and her husband of 30 plus years.
