Wanita May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.
The youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.
At sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for those metric-ly challenged). She attented University of Toronto, and Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA Indoors Runner Up + more.
But you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition. From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen, the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite past time.
Life continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their house became full of more imagination and stories.
Wanita and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables - particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).
After her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting it off.
Her first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.
She is currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses take her.
1. Finding Forever by Melisa Hamling *1 DNF Star This was really odd. Melissa is some sort of scientist with a cheating/stalker boyfriend. She starts seeing people follow her and then gets into an accident? And she's in some sort of dream world while she's in a coma? But things are kinda real too and she has to pay attention to her dreams and when she's awake? Idk, I really couldn't get into this one.
2. Eternal Vows (Ruby Ring 1) by Chrissy Peebles ***3 Stars (PR) Sarah finds herself in a different world, literally when she is searching for her missing sister. She runs into an incredibly handsome and charming king that seems like he is a jerk but they have some steamy chemistry. I was really enjoying this and then Sarah inexplicable became too stupid to live...but thankfully the book ended with a cliffhanger at that point.
3. Rae of Hope (Chronicles of Kerrigan 1) by W.J. May *1 Star (PR) Rae goes to some crazy boarding school where you get tattoos and powers from them. There are people that hate her because of things that her father did. It was an ok idea for a story but I just hated the characters and everything they did. They all seemed to have odd priorities and morals. And a lot of the dialogue was just awkward.
4. Awakening (Guardians 1) by Samantha Long *1 Star (PR) "Can you believe this? Demons? Lucifer?" This, coming from the shapeshifter who hangs out with a girl who can see the future, a girl who can heal with her hands, a girl who can turn invisible, a guy who can move things with his mind and a guy who can control fire. No, that's where he draws the line on weirdness.
5. The Angel She Loved by Irene Kueh *1 DNF Star "There's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away." – Sarah Kay. First of all, I find that quote to be ridiculous and not at all romantic. As far as the story, it was really really weird. The MC and her friend go to a costume party and they play a game where they have to find their way through the woods, collecting bottles of alcohol while being chased by people dressed as zombies...because that sounds like a really safe activity for a bunch of drunk people. But I really couldn't get over the fact that everyone seemed really scared, and not in the fun haunted house kind a way. I had to double check a few times to see if this was a real zombie book because these weirdoes were acting like their lives were actually in danger.
6. Crush (Crush Saga 1) by Chrissy Peebles *1 Star (PR) Taylor moves to California and runs into the supernatural. Like literally, everywhere. Unbelievable situations, unreasonable reactions...This just didn't have a good story, or good characters, or good dialogue.
7. Seventh Mark by W.J. May ***3 Stars (PR) So this wasn't great, Rouge befriends Grace and Michael and it quickly becomes blatantly clear that strange things are going on. You get little tidbits but no real information. This was a quick read and didn't really have a cliff hanger so much as this is literally the first part of the story. I think I may continue this series.
FINDING FOREVER By Melisa Hamling ETERNAL VOWS By Chrissy Peebles RAE OF HOPE By W.J. May Awakening By Samantha Long THE ANGEL SHE LOVED By Irene Kueh
Crush (The Crush Saga, #1) by Chrissy Peebles- 2 stars When Taylor sparks moves with her family to California her meeting with the locals doesn't go as expected. Her new crush Jesse is hiding something from her.
Really? One stupid mistake after another for the characters. The characters don't have much of an attention span, they jump from one thing to another. Taylor just acts dumb and has no common sense whatsoever. The characters were flat, there was no substance to them at all. I thought the writing was sloppy and the story did not have as much action as I thought it would.
Seventh Mark (Part 1) By W.J. May The Zombie Chronicles by Chrissy Peebles Radium Halos by W.J. May Apocalypse: Underwater City by Chrissy Peebles
I rated this anthology a 3 because there were a lot of good stories but there were some that I wish I hadn't read. I did discover some great new authors and more series that I can't wait to continue, but some weren't that great. My favorite was the Zombie Apocalypse! It was worth reading for the good stories since you can just skip the ones you don't like.
