New York Times bestseller Wendy Corsi Staub is the
award-winning author of more than seventy published novels
and has sold more than three million books worldwide. Under
her own name, Wendy achieved New York Times
bestselling status with her single title psychological
suspense novels. Those novels and the women’s fiction
she writes under the pseudonym Wendy Markham have also
frequently appeared on the USA Today, Barnes and
Noble Top Ten, and Bookscan bestseller lists.
In the eighteen month period beginning in April, 2008, Wendy
released eight original new novels, two reissues, two trade
paperback and three mass market editions of titles in her
young adult hardcover paranormal series. Notable among these
are her latest adult thrillers—DYING BREATH
(Zebra, May 2008) and its sequel DEAD BEFORE DARK
(Zebra, May 2009). Her young adult paranormal series;
LILY DALE, has been optioned for television by a
major production company. As "Wendy Markham," her most
recent title, THE BEST GIFT, is a sequel to the
acclaimed 2006 Christmas Time Travel romance, IF ONLY IN
MY DREAMS (both from Signet).
Wendy recently won the 2008 RT Award for Career Achievement
in Suspense and the 2007 RWA-NYC Golden Apple Award for
Lifetime Achievement. A proud recipient of the RWA Rita
award, she has also been honored three times with the
Westchester Library Association’s Washington Irving
Prize for Fiction and was recognized as one of WLA’s
Millennial Authors in 2000. Her Wendy Markham novel SLIGHTLY
SINGLE was named one of Waldenbooks’ 100 Best Fiction
titles of 2002. Her novels SLIGHTLY SUBURBAN, THE
LAST TO KNOW, and ASK ME AGAIN were nominated for
RT Reviewers Choice awards, and five of her novels,
DON’T SCREAM; THE LAST TO KNOW; MIKE,
MIKE AND ME; HELLO, IT’S ME; and BRIDE
NEEDS GROOM, were awarded a month’s top pick
review by the RT BOOK club magazine.
Her work has been translated into more than a dozen
languages worldwide and her titles are regularly selected as
features for Mystery Guild, Literary Guild, Doubleday Book
Club, Large Print Book Club, and Rhapsody Book Club. The
series LILY DALE will be available from Audible audio
books in the near future.
Wendy grew up in a large, close-knit family in rural
southwestern New York State and decided she wanted to become
an author while in third grade. She worked in two
independent book stores during college, then moved alone to
New York City at 21 to pursue her dream. After stints as a
book editor for a Manhattan publishing house and an account
coordinator for a major advertising agency, she sold her
first novel, the supernatural young adult thriller SUMMER
LIGHTNING. Early in her writing career, she published in
various genres including suspense, horror, historical and
contemporary romance, television and movie tie-in, and
biography. She also co-authored a mystery series with former
New York City mayor Ed Koch and has ghost-written for a
number of bestselling authors and celebrities.
Wendy now lives in the New York City suburbs with her
husband of eighteen years and their two children. A 1986
graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia,
she proudly delivered the keynote commencement address at
her alma mater in May 2008 and is serving a three-year
appointment to the Dean’s Advisory Council for the
College of Arts and Humanities.
