Wyatt enjoys gathering thoughts and creating stories. She has written for numerous magazines, including Boys’ Life, Good Old Boat, World and I, New York Tennis Magazine, and Northwest Travel. Her short stories appear in several Muddy Puddle Press anthologies, including The Sun Never Rises (2000) and One-Sentence Stories (2017). Wind on the Sounds is based on her personal experience as a novice sailor aboard Nightrunner in the 2015 race. In writing Prairie Girls, Wyatt wove together memories of her upbringing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, insights from her grandmother’s stories, and the camaraderie she found playing varsity ice hockey for her high school.
