If Only In My Dreams

New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub has recently gone to contract on a new Wendy Markham novel! It's a sequel to her 2006 hit, If Only In My Dreams, about a woman who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, but whose dreams are about to come true sixty years too soon. This new tale, like that one, will be a romantic, whimsical Christmas time travel, featuring the same heroine, Clara—along with a familiar cast of supporting characters. The as-yet untitled sequel is slated for release in December 2009 by NAL Signet.

In IF ONLY IN MY DREAMS actress Clara McCallum isn't looking forward to spending Christmas alone in New York, especially since she's still reeling after a diagnosis of breast cancer. But she has to be on location in the city for her next big movie. She's playing a woman in love with Jed Landry, an American soldier who's doomed to die at Pearl Harbor.

Imagine Clara's astonishment when she steps off an old-fashioned locomotive
from the set and finds herself whisked back in time—and into the arms of the
real-life Jed. She's convinced it's some sort of hallucination brought on by
her diagnosis. But before long, she finds herself swept away by this handsome
soldier and wondering if maybe her plunge into the past could change the course
of the future—and turn out to be the best Christmas present ever.
