Wendy Kirkland is the author of the Booey Creek novels, a multiple-book series set in a fictional mountain town in Western North Carolina. Drawn to the quiet power of place, she writes stories shaped by land, memory, and the unseen threads that bind families and communities across generations.

Booey Creek is home to characters with unusual life stories and layered histories—people shaped by loss, resilience, faith, and the enduring pull of the mountains. Through their lives, Wendy explores how the past lingers, how healing unfolds in unexpected ways, and how ordinary moments often carry extraordinary meaning.

After years of writing non-fiction, Wendy found in these novels a deeply personal and creative home. Writing Booey Creek allows her to blend storytelling with a spiritual awareness of presence, connection, and grace. The town may be fictional, but to her—and to her readers—it feels entirely real.
