Carolyn has written four books.  Her latest book, A Promise to America (PenPoint Press, 2003), has received favorable reviews nationwide.  As a result of this work, she has been a guest on radio programs reaching a total of over 60,000,000 people worldwide since October 2003.  The Heritage Foundation, a prestigious conservative Washington, DC, think tank that hosts such columnists as Cal Thomas, Chuck Colson, Ann Coulter, Jack Kemp, and Bill O’Reilly selected A Promise to America to be favorably reviewed on townhall.com alongside Newt Gingrich’s novel, Gettysburg, and Judge Robert Bork’s  work, Coercing Virtue: The Worldwide Rule of Judges.

Carolyn was motivated to write this book as a result of her work with nuclear scientists immediately before the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency weapons inspectors entered Iraq in September, 2002.  From her perspective as a socioeconomic futurist, Carolyn provides a unique view of America’s future in these globally dangerous times based on history, social trends, and ideological issues.

Her third book, Great Leaders See the Future First, which continues to hold timeless 21st century wisdom, was published in June, 2000. It debuted as # 1 on the Dallas Morning News local best seller list and has been named by The Business Book Bookstore & Review as one of the "100 Best Business Books for 2007 from Amazon.com."  The book has also been named one of the top five leadership books on The Business Success Store's current "best of the best" Million $ Leadership Books from Amazon.com by The Empowered Business. Additionally, AchieveMax, Inc., listed Great Leaders See the Future First in its Top 10 Books—4th Edition. In the book, Corbin coaches leaders on how to succeed in the face of critical 21st century issues. As an example of her foresight in the book, she warned that two crucial issues facing America were terrorism and religious conflict. And that book came out a year before the events of 9/11. This work, which continues to be popular, is being used as a resource in businesses, private libraries, seminaries, and universities on every major continent and has been translated into Korean and Chinese languages for use in those respective countries.

Carolyn’s second book, Conquering Corporate Codependence:  Lifeskills for Making It Within or Without the Corporation, was named as the esteemed Newbridge Book Club’s Executive Program Main Selection. This is the first thorough examination of personal strategies for succeeding in a free-lance economy. Published in 1993, this book foresees the chaos of an American economy wherein a majority of the work force will end up as non-permanent workers.

Strategies 2000, her first book, was an immediate #1 business best seller and was endorsed by The Kiplinger Washington Letter as one of the best business books of 1986. Even in looking ahead fourteen years, an amazing 95% of the conditions Corbin forecast were indeed happening around the year 2000. One of her most exciting predictions was that the world would be technologically interconnected by the year 2000. She had foreseen the global availability of the Internet!
