From Old Year to New
I gotta say, you guys made my 2009 such a fun year! It wasn’t just the release of Once Bitten, Twice Shy, Another One Bites the Dust, and Biting the Bullet in mass market form last summer, or the release of Bite Marks in October. It was hanging out with cool fans like you every day, chatting, goofing off, trading great stories like…
The Wake of Heckles Murphy. I had tons of fun arranging your Murder Mystery Adventure with that one.
And what about Granny May’s unfolding story with The Daemon Wars and May’s Training Day? I think we all enjoyed seeing Jaz’s granny from a whole new point of view.
We also got to see parts of Jaz’s life that we’d missed in the books, including Vayl’s first sight of her.
So what’s up for 2010? Hopefully even more fun than ever. I have plans, my pretties (she says as she wiggles her fingers wickedly). And they begin Monday with the introduction of a Web-exclusive, interactive story called “The Minion Chronicles: Paul & Brady get Hoodoo with the Voodoo.” Hope you’ll join me!
In the meantime, what do you say we think up the most ridiculous, impossible-to-fulfill New Year’s resolutions we can possibly invent and totally buy in for 2010? Mine is to become an astronaut, fly to the moon, and paint a specific pattern of rocks neon pink so that, from earth, it looks like the man in the moon is sticking his tongue out at us! Now you!

Happy New Year everyone!
So many great stories through this page, the extras and exerpts have been brilliant, thanks jen!
I’ve decided my resolution is to become a world famous ballet dancer (even though i gave up after one lesson when i was about four)!

My “impossible-to-fulfill New Year’s resolutions we can possibly invent and totally buy in for 2010″ is to speed climb Mt.Everest, chip off a big chunck of ice, crush the chunck into cubes, and bring the cubes back to my house so at the party I’m having Saturday everybody can have Everest cubes!

Happy 2010 to everyone!
Lol! Jen, you have no idea how many of my days you and the people here at the site saved! I just love being part of this, and I hope this new year we’ll have even more fun!
As for impossible resolutions… hhhmmm… losing three sizes (with my loving to bake and my dad’s bringing home pastries nearly every other day, I think that’d be pretty much sci-fi, lol).
Oh, and find a job where I’m paid to tour the whole world! That’d be reeaally good!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!:)
So, my ‘impossible new year resolution’…hmmm…. Mine is to be able to have wings and fly all over the world to take sparkly hats and glowsticks! lol weird, I know, but i just love sparkly hats.

Happy New Year!!!
My impossible resolution is to photobomb as many times as possible. Preferably in the school year book. haha. It’s not entirely impossible but it’ll be fun anyway!

Happy New Year Jenn and to everyone else who frequents.
I had a ball in 2009.
My impossible resolution is…to reach 5″5 so I don’t have to keep bothering my 6″3 brother to help me when I can’t reach something on the top cupboards. Nice thought but I’ve been 5″2 since I was 18.
Also how about creating transporters so I never have to rely on public transport again and can have an extra hour in bed.

Happy New Year !
My totally impossible New Years Resolution, to bring Dinosours back to this earth. And mabye create a new species of Dinosour ! Ohhh fun times

I’d love to see your interpretation of “The Nutcracker,” Sophie. It always seemed to me like it would’ve been funnier if the dancers had done it literally.
Brilliant, Nicole! I’m sure my tea would taste extra delish!
You’re reading my mind, Vale. We could be tour guides for old farts and just make up stuff about the places where we stop. Like they’d know any better anyway!
I’m glad you like sparkly hats, Courtz. Only a specific group of people can even pull them off, and I’m sure you’re among the select few!
Love it, Bec! After my daughter’s h.s. graduation my nephew ran around the hallway and tried to get into the background of as many family photos as possible. Hilarious!
I’d like you to get right onto that transporter issue, Emma. Sooo tired of driving among people who think Stop signs are just suggestions!
I vote for mammoths, Beccy. Because I think they’re adorable. Because I’m a huge fan of “Ice Age.” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268380/ And I don’t even care if that’s not logical!

Happy New Year to you all.
My impossible resolution is to be a fighter jet test pilot
Given I’m a New Zealander and we don’t have test pilots let alone fighter jets…..

Happy New Year!
My impossible resolution to be the new bassist in the Beatles even though half of them are dead now (not the bassist though) and I can barely play.
Hope you do another murder mystery this year, I am rubbish at these things but it was a hoot.

My impossible(ish) new years resolution is to get a made up word (still to be thought up) into the dictionary.
Or maybe to bring my wellies to life… but they’d probably moan at me for taking them out in the snow.
Happy New Year!!

my impossible new years res is to find a guy. that is one in its self.
but the cherry on top would be one that puts up with my vampire/paranormal novels, that will watch (and love almost as much as me) harry potter with me… and holds my hand while Snape dies…
and likes me “just the way i am” lameness and all…
not many/if any boys like that around here unfortunately, hence why it is impossible

Happy New Year! I’m going to invent chocolate that doesn’t make you fat. And potato chips, too. And they will taste like the real thing.
Oh and self-weeding gardens would be good too.

Oooo… I’m going to get a job editing and reading the books I love to read(in an industry that seems to shrink by the day) and make enough $ to pay off all my and fam’s bills. Then I’m going to solve the entire world market at lunch just for a dark snickers!!!
Happy new year to all

You’d surprise a lot of people, wouldn’t you, Penny?
I’ll seriously consider that, hagelrat.
That would be cool to have your own word in the dictionary, Emily!
Not at all impossible, Lauren. Keep looking, he’s probably where you least expect him!
Cool deal, Jill!
Woot! Go Tori!

My impossible new years resolution:
To try and get Jennifer Rardin to come to Perth and sign all my books!!
Fingers are crossed Jen. So…ah….what do you say? We’d love to have you.
I’d supply you with so many Tim Tams you wouldn’t know what to do with yourself…………….
(I’m really hoping you know what Tim Tams are by the way. LOL.)
January 6th, 2010 at 11:49 am
I’m for it, Jo-Anne! (And, yeah, you guys have educated me well! I can’t wait for my first Tim Tam feast!)
January 7th, 2010 at 12:59 am
Sweet. Perhaps mine isn’t so impossible after all……
