Wendy Sand Eckel

Wendy Sand Eckel is a renowned author of cozy mystery books, who hails from Maryland, United States. She is particularly famous for writing the Rosalie Hart mystery series. Author Eckel has a keen interest in cooking and trying out new recipes. This is the reason why her books are filled with recipes very often. Another element that features in her books very often is the charm of a small town. Author Eckel thinks highly of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the place where her books are set. She spent the initial years of her life growing up in a small town in Ohio. Eckel says that when she came across learning the names of states and capitals in her country in the 4th grade, she got attracted to Maryland and made up her mind about living there in the future. Author Eckel liked the flag of Maryland very much. She eventually moved to Maryland after growing up and has been living there for the last 30 years. The first story that author Eckel ended up writing was the story of a discarded vacuum cleaner, which ends up making its way back to the home of its owner. Later, when Eckel saw the film called The Brave Little Toaster, she was flabbergasted. She felt that the makers had stolen her idea.
