Author Weaves Adoption Into Her Stories

Novelist imagines for real
Wendy MacGown - lanky, with neatly kept neck-length strawberry blonde hair that blows in light breeze, in a navy blue, knee-length dress and square collar, a fresh-water pearl necklace the lone adornment - appears anything but a novelist. Perhaps a central-casting English teacher, which she is not. Or, perhaps, a technical writer, which she is.

Nothing gives away MacGown's passion - writing novels whose characters experience all the joy and pain, hope and agony life offers...

MacGown and her husband have adopted two girls from China, Andrea, 10, and Ashley, 3, and have an extensive network within the adoptive community.

"I want to establish myself and my books where I have recognition first and then expand beyond that," said MacGown.
