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).
Markham grew up in rural southwestern New York before moving to Manhattan, and is a 1986 graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia. She has had over seventy titles published and is a New York Times bestselling author. Her Slightly series is a chick lit favorite, with titles: Slightly Engaged, Slightly Married, Slightly Settled, Slightly Single, and Slightly Suburban.
Wendy Markham currently lives in the New York City suburbs with her husband of eighteen years and their two children.

(Note: I am posting under the name Wendy Markham, as that is the name she uses with the chick lit genre.)
