Stories That
Transform Lives

Award-winning author crafting narratives that bridge cultures, inspire change, and explore the depths of human connection.

I'm WEN,
A Storyteller at Heart

With over fifteen years of experience crafting narratives across multiple mediums, I believe in the transformative power of words. My work spans from intimate short stories to sweeping novels, each piece carefully woven to touch the human experience.

Based in the vibrant city of Auckland, New Zealand, I draw inspiration from the stunning landscapes and diverse cultures that surround me. Every story I tell is an exploration of what makes us human—our dreams, fears, loves, and the connections that bind us together.

My writing has been recognized internationally, with works translated into twelve languages and featured in prestigious literary journals worldwide. I believe that great stories have the power to bridge cultures and create understanding.
