Wednesday went to college in Olivet, Michigan where she majored in theatre and broadcasting for some reason. She wrote and produced radio dramas for WOCR-FM and directed occasional performances at the Oaks Theatre. Much to her parent's dismay, she intended to investigate a career in technical theatre.
She began working in professional theatre in 1993. She enjoyed it immensely until her paychecks bounced, forcing her to find work that would actually pay the bills. Wednesday worked many varied jobs including fast-food manager, reptile wrangler, tarot reader, radio commentator, activist, cashier in a natural foods market, community organizer, video store manager, phone sex operator, violin sales professional, and concierge to name a few. After the unexpected closing of her workplace in 2004, Wednesday signed up for the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) to write the novel she had been meaning to write all her life: A Stabbing for Sadie. After its completion the following year, Wednesday began the long and horrible search for a publisher. She amassed a handful (or two) of rejection letters before she finally received a positive response from Kris Stamp of StoneGarden.net publishing. She has since won five consecutive NaNoWriMo's and has retired undefeated from the grueling and electrifying process of month-long novel writing.
In 2005, Wednesday began work on her second novel The Cat's Apprentice, about a woman who believes her husband's mischievous cat is trying to kill her. This novel's completion was postponed by the untimely death of the real-life cat, Clarence. Eventually, this novel was picked up for publication by StoneGarden.net publishing as well. Her third novel, Kiss Me Like You Love Me, took three years to write and eventually caused widespread neglect of virtually all other areas of her life. The story of a serial killer and his boyhood friend was released Valentine's Day 2010. It is her scariest, darkest novel to date. She is really, super stoked to know that it's out and available for mass consumption. Wednesday's new novel deals with the terrifying subject of the walking (and cannibalistic) undead. The Finster Effect is coming soon--check back for details. Wednesday also produces the podcast, "Take a Stab at This!" available on iTunes and right here at this site. It contains audiobook versions of novel chapters and a few kickass short stories, scored with some truly exceptional music, and performed by some dedicated and talented actors. Wednesday has short stories circulating in various magazines, anthologies, and on Kindle. She occasionally contributes to Associated Content, and is a contributing editor with a regular interview segment at Zombie Zone News. Currently Wednesday lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with some carnivorous plants, a few cats, and her husband. She has a wide range of interests including (but not limited to) abnormal psychology, cooking, linguistic anthropology, loom knitting, trying to learn an instrument, The Simpsons, Criminal Minds, Hitchcock, crafty things, quality horror of all kinds, and kettle cooked potato chips.
