2009 is another busy year with the publication of three original novels, plus the mass market re-launch of my Lily Dale series and a special $4.99 reissue edition of my Lily Dale-set 2002 thriller IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
Readers who enjoyed my 2008 New York Times bestseller DYING BREATH can look for the sequel, DEAD BEFORE DARK, in bookstores beginning in May 2009, or you can pre-order your copy here The new thriller picks up about six months after DYING BREATH left off, and reintroduces the enigmatic Lucinda Sloan as the heroine. Cam Hastings and her family will also be featured, along with several other familiar characters.
My alter-ego Wendy Markham will remain prolific this year with THE BEST GIFT, the long-awaited sequel to my 2006 Christmas time travel romance IF ONLY IN MY DREAMS. We’ll meet Clara again and not only see where life has taken her since we last met, but we’ll join her as she leaves the present behind for another heartwarming Christmas time travel adventure with another surprise ending. The book will be out in December from NAL Signet.
My young adult paranormal series LILY DALE, titled after and set in the real-life upstate New York spiritualist community, continues to steam full speed ahead, having been optioned for television. I’ll have an update on that soon. Meanwhile, following the 2007-08 publication of the first three installments, AWAKENING, BELIEVING, and CONNECTING, Book Four, DISCOVERING, is due this fall. The first two books will be newly available in mass market paperback when the series is relaunched in June featuring all-new cover art.
I recently discovered that my July 2008 chick lit novel SLIGHTLY SUBURBAN has been nominated for an RT Reviewers Choice Award! I’m grateful to the wonderful folks at RT BOOKlovers for the nomination and to my loyal readers for their passion for this series. I thought that book marked the end of my heroine Tracey Spadolini’s ongoing “SLIGHTLY” adventures, but so many fans have written to ask what happens to her next that I’m rethinking the possibility of yet another sequel. I’ll keep you posted!
If you’d like to read my daily blog or see my personal photo collection and more, be sure to drop by my social networking site at www.wendycorsistaubcommunity.com Upon publication of DEAD BEFORE DARK, I’ll be unveiling another innovative read-along-with-Wendy event there, and it will include daily prizes and the “story behind the story”!
My Fifty-State book tour is blasting through the heartland and beyond in 2009, with planned stops in at least thirteen states. I'm working on a new tour schedule, so check my What's New page often to see if I'll be visiting your state this year!
For an autographed copy of a current release or any of my in-print backlist titles, contact The Book Nook in Dunkirk, NY. It's my all-time favorite independent bookstore, and was the first important stepping stone on career path: I worked there throughout my college years. Call (716) 366-0685 or email booknook@netsync.net and my good friends, owners Rick and Patty Donovan, will be happy to help!
Be sure to leave a note on my guestbook, and remember, I can't respond unless you include your email address in the body of the note!

Dead Before Dark
THE SUN GOES DOWN...
The Night Watchman is ready to kill—again. After 35 years in prison, he is free to commit the same twisted atrocities that once made him as notorious as the Zodiac Killer and Jack the Ripper. Now, at last, his moment has come...
THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS...
For renowned psychic Lucinda Sloan, fame is a double-edged sword. Through her television appearances, she helps police capture America’s most elusive serial killers. Unfortunately, she also catches the eye of the Night Watchman. Once this madman learns that Lucinda “sees” murders after they’re committed, it’s time to play...
...AND THE FEAR NEVER ENDS.
The first victim is someone she knows—a personal shock that brings Lucinda closer to her ex-lover, Detective Randall Barakat. Then a second murder in Chicago, and a third in Denver, makes her realize that the Night Watchman is toying with her. Each victim wears a wristwatch... each watch bears a message... and each message is a warning for Lucinda that her time is up—and soon she’ll be next to die...
