W.M. Raebeck

W. M. Raebeck lives in Hawaii where the writer's life is fully exalted. She adores turquoise waters, her old wooden chair, rural view, cat, and birdsong. Retrieving live creatures from the jowls of White Boy is the worst part of her day (aside from seriously questioning everything about today's America).Raebeck's books are true-life accounts. From war-time journalism in Nicaragua, to the misadventures of a sugar-freak hippie chick, to trekking through the Costa Rican jungle, her kaleidoscopic tales are laced with old-soul insight and humorous resilience.She has packed several lifetimes into one, including travel to 45 countries and 45 of the United States, an acting career in film and television, hiking across a whole country, years as a journalist, modeling in Paris, NYC, and L.A., as well as political, environmental, and animal rights activism since age 12. Yoga and natural health have been foundations of her adult life (sugar notwithstanding). Other committed pursuits have been fine-art photography, renovating houses in Hawaii, and writing 10 books, 100 newspaper articles, and countless poems. She claims she's just getting started.Temporarily out of mischief, she's now publishing memoirs. Also breathing deeply, giving thanks, and finding avenues of service (though usually through Paypal rather than storming the capitol).W. M. Raebeck has 5 siblings and 2 steps, nieces and nephews far and near--some with kids of their own, and a beloved father, Charlie Raebeck, 94, who will always be her favorite person.Visit "WendyRaebeck.com" for photos, excerpts, audio clips, blog posts, and to get on the email list for upcoming book releases.
