Author Details
Wendi Schuller loves mysteries and devoured Agatha Christie ones at an early age. She enjoys
going to where they took place or were written, such as Egypt or the Seven Dials in London. Her
new series, The Adventures of Margo, Girl Detective, have many cases to solve with the help of
two friends.
Wendi Schuller is a globe-trotter by nature, having travelled to over sixty countries and jungles
on three continents. She got the idea for her children’s book Jack Jack The Jungle Cat in
Cambodia on one of those trips with her children. Combine her love for jungle habitat and
animals with a career that expanded on her innate compassion for family, children and all living
things – and you have a recipe for Jack Jack The Jungle Cat. Her first published book – The
Global Guide to Divorce – was written in response to the need of many families to negotiate
divorce with the least amount of trauma as possible. Wendi is a nurse, a Neuro-Linguistic
Programmer, and a hypnotherapist.

Interview questions:
1. What is your favorite part of this book and why?
My favorite chapter is the racoon one. It starts as a mystery and ends up surprisingly. This exact situation happened to my mother and was so funny. She was scared at the time, though. I also like how the children interact with each other and Logan.
2. If you could spend time with a character from your book whom would it be? And what would you do during that day?
I would spend time with Mrs. Bath. She was my fourth-grade teacher just arriving from the UK. She also taught us Chaucer and about British history, like the character. Right after forth grade, my mother and I went to London. We visited The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and other landmarks Mrs. Bath mentioned. My book, Jack jack The Cat Loose in London is partially inspired by her.
3. books/authors have most inspired you?
I’ve been a mystery fan since an early age. I wanted to write about a junior detective for a while. I also like books with humor, such as Bill Bryson’s “Notes from a Small Island.”
A passion of mine is international travel and I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction in the genre. A book I read twice is Fakirs, Feluccas and Femme Fatales by E.T. Laing I visited some of the places in his book. I went to places where Agatha Christie wrote about, such as cruising down the Nile or the Seven Dials in London.
4. Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?
My characters are a mix of fiction and real ones. I used aspects of what I want to teach /present and made up a character. Logan embodies the Native Americans in Ohio where I was growing up. Jeff and Vera are two friends. Some others are neighbor children. Friends tell me that Margo is very much like me, especially the adventurous part. The cats are real, not fiction.
5. What made you want to become a writer?
I made up stories in my head as a child and that got me thinking to write them down. I had teachers in grade school who had us write a story with that week’s spelling words and read it to the class. Mine were very out there. I had gone to a dungeon in Paris. One week, my fifth-grade spelling words were in a very graphic story about that. The teacher was surprised that I had written it.
With my background of being a nurse, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and dating coach, I felt I had something to offer people. I write for magazines and am a speaker in London, Paris, Portugal and US. Writing helps me to entertain or motivate people.
