My greatest passion is writing. Though I knew I wanted to be a writer from the age of five or six, I only began my first novel in late 2005. 
It's never too late to fulfill your dreams! 
In December 2008, the Dutch edition of Curse of the Tahiéra (De Vloek van de Tahiéra) was published in the Netherlands.
In May 2009 the English edition was published by Booklocker in the U.S.

I am a deeply spiritual person, though not affiliated to any religion. I am however a member of OBOD, the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. Currently I'm in the Bardic grade and boy, am I into a lot of bardic activities! Writing, learning the Celtic harp, making jewellery...

After graduating in Clinical Psychology I specialized in dreamwork and past life therapy, which is what I do in my therapy practice in the Netherlands. I also teach dreamwork.

Exploring past lives is a great source of inspiration to me, along with nature, history and the unbridled imagination of my overactive mind...;-)

A powerful all-engrossing epic

Wendy Gillissen’s wonderful début novel is a powerful all-engrossing epic, in which love and forgiveness are essential lessons to be learned. Dreams and past lives are central to the story, and I was not surprised then to learn Wendy is a past life therapist who specialises in dreamwork. This understanding of her subject matter results in a sensitively crafted and profound spiritual adventure for both the main protagonists and the reader. The rich history and cultures of the land in which the tale unfolds is entirely convincing, as are the story’s well rounded and sympathetic characters. I found the Curse of the Tahiéra very evocative of the myths and legends of the British Isles, particularly the Tuatha Dé Danann of Celtic legend. For all it’s depth, Wendy has succeeded in writing a thoroughly enjoyable tale which never once becomes heavy going or dull (the curse of many fantasy epics I have endured over the years!).
