My husband planned the most elegant party at the Eccles Art Center, pictured here in all its splendor. We ate delicious food, listened to live piano music, and visited with new and old friends. I also signed quite a few books, as you can see in the photo below. It was, in a word, perfect.In honor of Teen Fiction Cafe's promo week, I'm pleased to offer a FREE autographed copy of The Secret Life of a Teenage Siren. Its official launch date was Dec. 26, 2007, so this baby is hot off the press and just dying to make it into a pair of deserving hands. What do you have to do? It's easy! Just leave a comment, sharing your New Year's resolution. I'll have my one year-old choose the lucky winner, so check back at the end of the week to see if it's you! Good luck, and Happy New Year!
P.S. If you'd like to read more about me or my book, two TFC authors have recently posted interviews. Check them out at YA Fresh and Sara Hantz's blog.

Wendy - thanks for the awesome giveaway! I would love to win an autographed copy of The Secret Life of a Teenage Siren =)
My new years resolution is to do my homework first, before reading all of the new wonderful YA books that I love. If I let myself read first, that calculus homework never gets done.
my new year's resolution is to finish the gingerbread house for my little sister. i have to load it with icing so it will satisfy her sweet tooth.
My new years resolution is..being accepted at the job i want( i applied for a new job as an afterschool care group leader) the 7th of januari i have my second job apply meeting for this job!fingers crossed..
And my second new years resolution is is to sport more often. I intend to pick up jazzdance after not doing it for a few years and to go for a little run (jogging) every morning to stay in shape.
And my third resolution is to stay the same, to be nice and good to my family as i always do, i think this is the most important one!
Happy and healthy new year to you all!

Congrats on your release Wendy. You books sounds great and your launch sounds like it went well. I have a boring main resolution...but it's one I really need to implement: work out more, eat better, and start loosing some weight. Oh and write more this year!
Congratulations on your book launch!
My new year's resolution is to spend less time web-surfing and more time writing! ;-)
COngratulations on your new release. My New Years resolution is to be serious about a career and obtain the best job possible for my skills.
Hey, Wendy!
Huge congratulations--what a fun way to start 2008!
I resolve to be really grateful for all the good things that come my way this year. I am truly sitting in the catbird seat (and I will not worry about book sales!).
Happy New Year!
Congratulations! Wonderful news.
My New Years resolution is to walk everyday and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Learning culinary skills would be another feature.
My new years resolution is to be able to help out at a retirement residence nearby. I would bring books each week and my Maltese. I hope to cheer up the people.
Great giveaway. My new years resolution is to stick to a workout regime.

Wendy - the photos are great and you look like a real life author - so cool!!!!!
I blogged about my resolutions but I did manage to forget one. In 2008 I want to remember to put on make up and brush my hair before I leave the house. Honestly, the amount of times I've been at the shops and caught sight of myself looking a fright is ridiculous
What a cool looking place to have a launch! My resolutions (at least some of them): Take my vitamins daily. Play a board game a week with my kids. 3. Declutter one shelf or drawer each month.
Wendy, enjoy your time as a debut novelist!
Congrats on your book's release, Wendy!
My resolution is to gradually wean myself off TV so I can spend more time reading.
:) Vanessa

My resolutions are to write, read, laugh, travel, and to celebrate often!
Congrats on the debut! How exciting! =)
Well, I have reading and writing goals, but my real resolution this year is to keep my cell phone with me and charged at all times. Mainly for the sanity of my friends, and to stop from being teased mercilessly about never answering calls. :-P
