About
the Author:
Wendy Temple’s first love has
always been sport. She kicked a football as soon as she could walk. At school,
girls weren’t allowed to play football, so she played hockey instead. Hockey
became her go-to sport for many years, but she played five a side football as
often as she could/was permitted!
Wendy also loves music and from a
young age got into punk. She remembers watching the Sex Pistols on the BBC news
and her mum and granny being appalled. Wendy was ten and thought they were
amazing.
Wendy believes that sport and a
good family saved her from a life on the fringes of society. At age fifteen she
was experimenting with drugs and skipping school. She failed all her exams
apart from English. It was her love of sport that had her returning to school
to re-sit exams and try again.
Upon leaving school Wendy studied
physical and community education. After college she became a youth worker,
running sports clubs, after school clubs and youth clubs. Working for an
orthotics company inspired her to go to university to study Occupational
Therapy – providing invaluable insight into physical and mental health,
including addiction, which is one of the major themes in Defensive Mindset.
Wendy has spent most of her life
in Edinburgh bar a couple of months in London. For her, Edinburgh is a city
that can feel like a town: “It’s cosmopolitan, quaint and steeped in history,
an ideal setting for any story,” says Wendy, which explains why Defensive
Mindset is based in Portobello, Edinburgh!
