Wendy Toliver

About me:

Hi everybody! Welcome to my MySpace page. My name is Wendy Toliver and I'm a teen fiction author. My Simon Pulse romantic comedies are The Secret Life of a Teenage Siren and Miss Match. Where can you get your hands on a copy? Pretty much anywhere books are sold. And in June of 2010, look for Lifted (Simon Pulse.) Here's what people are saying about Lifted: "Smart, deftly written, and extremely well-observed, Wendy Toliver's Lifted is so realistic and moving I felt like I was transported right inside Poppy's world, watching as she struggled to navigate her way through a school where appearances are deceiving and no one is quite what they seem. A hard to put down, compelling read!"-Alyson Noël, #1 New York Times Best Selling author of The Immortals series "LIFTED is the story of an imperfect heroine seeking her place not only in school, but in life. Its exploration of the amount of truth behind social and religious stereotypes escalates into a double-dog dare to believe them. A haunting morality tale that will leave you questioning just what it means to be 'good.'" Aprilynne Pike, author of the #1 New York Times Best-Selling novel WINGS. "Lifted by Wendy Toliver is an amazing, compelling read, filled with all the realness of being in high school, from humor to love to angst. I haven't met a character so well developed as Poppy since reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. At times heartbreaking, at others uplifting, Lifted is a book that I absolutely loved." James Dashner, best selling author of The Maze Runner .... My web-site is http:www.wendytoliver.com.... I'm from the Denver area, now living in the Utah mountains with my husband, 3 little boys, 2 dogs, a cat, quite a few fish, and a crabby crab. In addition to writing books, I'm a freelance copy writer and proofreader. I also enjoy acting and have been in indie films, commercials, and had a very short and exciting stint on a TV series.
