You can’t make it up! Last month I was invited to

You can’t make it up! Last month I was invited to speak at the primary criminal forensics lab for the state of CT AND have a tour of the facility. It was absolutely mind blowing, even after over a decade of writing crime novels, and deep-diving into all kinds of research about how to plan, hide, investigate and solve crimes. Check out my new Substack newsletter for more details on what I learned! (Link in bio)

I’m giving away a free novella for all of my newsletter, subscribers! I’m on Substack now so you can find me there or use the link in my bio to sign up! Here’s a little bit about the new book I’m giving away: From the best-selling author of All Is Not Forgotten and Don’t Look for Me comes a sharp, compulsive thriller about a young woman who narrowly escapes a violent crime and the psychiatrist helping to recover her memory of the suspect. ABOUT HOLD YOUR BREATH Gabby Ashford has just survived an attempt on her life. Detectives have connected her story to two other cases in the area: Professional women drugged at a bar, brought to their homes, and drowned in their bathtubs. Gabby, who miraculously woke up in her own bathtub unharmed, could be the key to finding a serial killer on the loose – but she has no memory of the attack. Gabby admits herself to a high-end rehabilitation center to recover, and to seek the help of a psychiatrist renowned for his work with memory recovery. As Dr. Forrester works with Gabby – interviewing not only her but her overbearing fiancée, her emotionally fragile brother, and the local detective working the case – questions about Gabby’s story, her past, and the ethics of memory recovery emerge. Dr. Forrester, the central voice of Walker’s breakout debut All Is Not Forgotten, is a fascinating and deeply complicated character, barreling toward the truth of the case at hand while wrestling with the demons of his own past. Shocking and succinct, Hold Your Breath will have you on the edge of your seat from the first minute to the last.

Wow! I’m so excited for this release. @lauriepetro

Wow! I’m so excited for this release. @lauriepetrou is one of my favorite authors. Check out the synopsis below and order now! 🎉🎊👏 Art, ambition, and desire collide when an aspiring writer becomes entangled in the marriage and creative life of her literary idol. By day, Dr Ruth Morgan lectures on ‘AI: the new frontier of storytelling.’ By night, she toils away at a collection of short stories, fantasising about a writing career to rival that of the internationally renowned Shelby Rayburn, a literary icon widely hailed as the voice of Ruth’s generation of women. When Shelby and her husband, Oscar, make an appearance at an annual faculty party, Ruth can’t believe her luck. The trio instantly hit it off, and an intoxicating intimacy builds between them, underwritten by a simmering sexual tension. After their chance meeting, Shelby proposes an unconventional scheme to bring Ruth’s unpublished writing into the limelight, though it is not without conditions: their plan must remain secret, even from Oscar. Bound together by this pact, Ruth and Shelby’s bond tightens. But how long before ego and ambition cause their secret alliance to snap?

Woohoo! BLADE ebook is now on sale for just $2.49 through the end of August 🎉🎊🍾 Set in the cutthroat world of competitive figure skating and drawn from my own experience training for the sport as a young teenager, BLADE is a twisty dark thriller perfect for losing yourself at the beach, by the pool, or wherever you escape for the last weeks of summer. Read more with the links in my bio or at wendywalkerbooks.com. And pop on Amazon to buy the book! Here’s what PW and Booklist had to say:
“Walker’s slick and satisfying latest (after American Girl) is set in the ruthless world of competitive figure skating… The author is at the top of her game.” —Publishers Weekly “This is an absorbing teenage-angst-driven seventh psychological thriller…Walker builds the suspense artfully, and the reader will be drawn in by the narrative of each “it” that befell the original four girls and what might have led Grace to commit the crime, if indeed she is guilty. The author pivots and lutzes her way through a world she once knew well.” —Booklist (starred)
