Wendy Hughes turned to writing as an outlet for her frustrations when ill-health and poor vision forced her into medical retirement at the age of 38 in 1988. She writes on a variety of subjects including regional areas of Wales, myths and legends, folklore and health issues. She enjoys writing about the quirky side of life, eccentricities and larger than life characters. "In fact," she says, "I write about anything I find unusual or fascinating." Wendy has spent many years campaigning, working and writing on behalf of people affected by Stickler Syndrome, a progressive genetic connective tissue disorder from which she herself suffers. She founded the Stickler Syndrome Support Group and spends a great deal of her time raising awareness of the condition amongst the medical profession. She is author of Stickler: the Elusive Syndrome, as well as other literature on the condition. Founder of Walton Wordsmiths, a local prose writers group, Wendy is the author of 26 non-fiction books, and over 1700 articles. A columnist on Welsh traditions for an American/Welsh publication, Ninnau - meaning 'we also' or 'part of', she is the membership secretary of the Society. She is also a member of The Society of Authors.
