New This Month!
Hello Family, Friends and Readers:
I am SO excited to finally be able to share the release of my Audible Original Short, Hold Your Breath, a compulsive short thriller about a young woman who narrowly escapes a violent crime and the psychiatrist helping to recover her memory of the suspect. If you read All is Not Forgotten, you might recognize one of my favorite characters making an appearance! This standalone short is performed by award-winning actor Dylan Baker, who has acted in numerous shows and films, including "The Good Wife" and "Homeland," and has performed countless audiobooks, including The Grapes of Wrath and The Corrections. I could not be more proud of this story and the performance that brings it to life!
Below you can find links to sample FOR FREE or purchase. Audible offers purchasing BOTH through subscribing OR making a one-time purchase. The one-time purchase option is at the bottom of the order form.
In other news, Don't Look for Me continues to garner praise after its first two weeks in the world! You can order now in hardcover, audio or ebook with the links below, and also check out my new virtual event schedule!

About Don't Look for Me
The greatest risk isn't running away.
It's running out of time.
They called it a “walk away.” The car abandoned miles from home. The note found at a nearby hotel. The shattered family. It happens all the time. Women disappear, desperate to start over. But what really happened to Molly Clarke?
When a new lead comes in two weeks after the search has ended, Molly’s daughter, Nicole, begins to wonder. In spite of their strained relationship and the tragedy that rocked their world, nothing about her mother’s disappearance makes sense.
Against her father’s wishes, Nicole returns to the small, desolate town where her mother was last seen, determined to find the truth. The locals are sympathetic and eager to help. The innkeeper. The bartender. Even the police. Until secrets begin to reveal themselves. When Nicole learns about another woman who vanished from town, then discovers a small hole cut into a fence guarding a mysterious, secluded property, she comes closer to the truth about that night — and the danger surrounding her.
The night Molly disappeared began with a storm, running out of gas, and a man in a truck offering her a ride to town. With him is a little girl who reminds her of the daughter she lost years ago. It feels like a sign. It feels safe. And Molly is overcome with the desire to be home, with her family — no matter how broken it is. She accepts the ride. But when the doors lock shut, Molly begins to suspect she has made a terrible mistake.
The Audiobook of Don't Look for Me
I had the pleasure of interviewing Therese Plummer, who narrated Don't Look for Me, as well as Emma in the Night. I loved hearing her thoughts on this performance.

“DISTINCTIVE, WELL-DEVELOPED CHARACTERS COMPLEMENT THE SKILLFULLY PACED PLOT. This moving look at the bond between a mother and her children reinforces Walker’s place at the top of the genre.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“WENDY WALKER’S NOVELS ARE ADDICTIVE. Like, controlled-substance addictive. And Don’t Look for Me, a thriller as intense and relentless as the metallic rain slashing across its jacket, ranks as Walker’s reigning champ.”
—A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
“GRIPPING…WITH UNEXPECTED TWISTS…You’ve got a cracking mystery on your hands.”
—Adrian McKinty, New York Times bestselling author of The Chain
“A NAILBITER . . . SO MUCH MORE THAN A TWISTY THRILLER. It’s a heartbreaking portrait of a family coping with grief and an insightful study of guilt and blame, gaslighting and agency. If you love fast-paced page-turners with relatable, flawed characters, look no further!”
—Angie Kim, National Bestselling author of Miracle Creek
“SHARP, NUANCED, UTTERLY REAL, and ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING, this beautifully written and emotionally powerful novel is Walker at her best.”
