Wendy on Wheels Goes to the Zoo has been rolled out!!!
My official launch party for Wendy on Wheels Goes to the Zoo was Sunday, November 21st at Foam Coffee and Beer in St. Louis. I go to Foam to work on the books a lot, so I figured it would be a good place to have my release event.
I was so excited to meet Brandon O’Harver, who won the contest to name Wendy’s companion in the book. He was so sweet! It was so cool that he agreed to sign books!
Brandon, Illustrator Elizabeth Gearhart, my sister Amanda, (who inspired the Wendy character) and I signed books.
The release party was wonderful!! Thank you to Cherokee Street Catering for providing delicious snacks for the event. I loved the Rueben triangles the best!! 
I had a special gift for Brandon. Brandon received a beautiful, watercolor painting of Wendy and Brandon by Wendy on Wheels’s illustrator, Elizabeth Gearhart. Here is Elizabeth, Brandon and me.
At 3:30, I read my brand new book to the crowd. Foam was standing room only. 
I’m so grateful that I had a successful launch for Wendy on Wheels Goes to the Zoo. It was a fantastic event! I felt blessed to see so many people who support Wendy on Wheels!!! Thank you to everyone who came!!!
In honor of Brandon, a portion of the book sales of Wendy on Wheels Goes to the Zoo will be donated to the Muscular Dystropy Association. If you haven’t already, please order a copy of Wendy on Wheels Goes to the Zoo.
