Wendy Markham
Wendy Markham decided in the third grade that she would be an author. During her college years, she worked at two independent book stores, then moved on to New York to make her dream a reality. She there worked as a book editor for a Manhattan publishing house and account coordinator for a major advertising agency. Her first novel was a young adult thriller, Summer Lightening. Markham has since published in a variety of genres, including: suspense, horror, historical and contemporary romance, television and movie tie-in, and biography. She has also published titles under the name Wendy Corsi Staub (Markham is her writing pseudonym).
