About me.


I was born in South Wales in the UK. I have travelled a lot in the course of my life, and we lived in Liberia, West Africa for nearly five years. I now live in Germany with my husband and two children.

Like most authors I have always loved writing and reading. I haunted the local miner's institute library from the day my mother allowed me to go there on my own, and my love of books has accompanied me throughout my life. My English teacher was always telling me to 'shorten your text, it's too long', so I think the love of writing has always been part of me! I now read all kinds of books and have numerous favourite authors in various genres that range from thrillers right through to social and historical novels. I am not fond of fantasy or science-fiction, but otherwise I'll read almost anything that looks interesting.

I've worked in third-world fishery progects, taught in language schools and had jobs in various publishing companies. I've written numerous books, had serials published in magazines,  worked on the English supplement of a German magazine, published several short stories in in German, and assisted with the translation of at least 15 books for tourist purposes and specialist books about dolls and toys over the course of several years. I also worked with the publisher of the German equivalent of Who's who in Germany, and the latest addition to my list is an audio CD of one of my already published book.

Writing is a solitary and time-consuming task and I am therefore extremely lucky that my husband is very understanding, has always encouraged me, and given me the time and space I need to write.

I belonged to the Romantic Novelists Association for many years, and it is a very supportive and helpful organization for would-be authors, as well as the established ones. The New Writers Scheme is an excellent way to find out where your writing strengths and weaknesses are. It is not free, but if you join the RNA, and enter their New Writer Scheme (which you also have to pay for) it is still much cheaper than employing a professional editor to read and summarize your work.

I also belong to the ALCS.

Review by Katie Pullen, www.thebookbag.co.uk - July 2010

This easy-read escapist romance has all the right ingredients for any fan of this genre. Amy and Jason are great characters for a romance, similar in their personalities and both are very good looking, intelligent, and independent. They clearly find each other attractive from the start but both are determined that their marriage is a business arrangement and nothing else., but of course as the reader, we know different. Kremer's description of the Venezuelan jungle is vibrant and I really felt I was there alongside Amy and Jason dealing with the heat as well as the fauna and flora of the place. There are some great descriptions in this part of the novel adding exotic flavour and fun episodes too, which add a bit of humour ....


Review by Books Monthly, www.booksmonthly.co.uk - July 2010

I toyed with the idea of including this on the Crime and Thriller page, but really it is, in essence a romance. The coolness between Amy and Jake is fascinating and frustrating, and Amy's experiences are at times chilly. It is well written, and most enjoyable, with a highly satisfactory resolution.


Review from http.//readersfavorite.com - July 30, 2010

Filled with scenes of adventure and intrigue.

Amy and Jake have struck an unusual bargain which takes them from one adventure to another. Amy comes from England to America under false pretenses to live with Jake, an international buisinessman. They intend to pull off an inter-personal sham which will benefit them both. When Jake convinces his new bride to go to the Venezuelan jungle the careful plans of the couple go slightly askew. Neither is prepared for the adventures into which they have fallen and neither has the foggiest notion of what to do. Even those who shy away from romance novels will find Wendy Kremer's characters delightful and well-defined, such that the reader can genuinely get into the story. The book is filled with scenes of adventure, intrigue, confusion and romance and has something for just about every reader. No Matter What is a delightful first novel from this Welsh writer. This is a good read - something to put in the bag and take along wherever you go.
