Just Call Me Faith Drown

First off, for a little fun, go see what your vampire name is. Apparently, I'm Faith Drown, the scourge of Slovenia--a traveler in a foreign land, struck down by a mysterious wasting disease.

Sucks, man. Let me tell ya. (But I do rather like my new last name--despite having a thing about water.)

So the first order of business today is to tackle my List-of-Things-to-Complete-Before-Vlad's-First-Draft-is-Finished. Yesterday I lopped another three things off the list, wittling my tasks down to five. My goal is to complete the three smallest today and then, over the next week, finish the final two tasks.

Huh. Actually, I guess that's the only order of business today.

Happy writing, everyone!

Hot? Definitely. But cold? Never you, Christopher, darling!

Smooches (and nibbles!)


(By the way, I named a bounty hunter Thanatos in The Roses of Carrion!)

I am Duchess of Romania (I just KNEW I was royalty kidnapped at birth!) - aka the Famine of Blood. I'm thirsty, unstoppable and vicious. Hmmm, my student workers can attest to that last part!LOL

Wait just a darn second! I get the name of some drowning virgin and you get to be a duchess??? That just doesn't seem fair! You even got a cooler nickname--"the Famine of Blood". ;)

What People Are Saying About 'Eighth Grade Bites'

"A spooky mystery that's funny, gruesome, heartwarming, spellbinding, sad, joyous, surprising and topped off with a tasty blend of blood and chocolate. Yum. What more could you ask for?" ~D.J. MacHale, New York Times-bestselling author of PENDRAGON: JOURNAL OF AN ADVENTURE THROUGH TIME AND SPACE

"'Eighth grade Bites' had me on the edge of my seat. It's a great piece of fiction. It drops you right into the action, grabs you by the throat (pun intended), and won't let go. Vladimir Tod is a truly sympathetic character cursed with an existence not of his own doing, but doing his best to do the right thing. It's part 'Goosebumps' mixed with 'Harry Potter' and a dash – no, a heaping tablespoon – of Stephen King. If you're in eighth grade, or a vampire, or an eighth grade vampire, 'Eighth Grade Bites' is a definite must read!"~Butch Hartman, creator of Nickelodeon's THE FAIRLY ODD PARENTS and DANNY PHANTOM

"Eighth Grade Bites is a terrific vampire tale told with a sharp, middle-school grin. It definitely does not bite!" ~Christopher Moore, author of BLOODSUCKING FIENDS and A DIRTY JOB

"Eighth Grade Bites is a delightful novel filled with dark, biting humor that will appeal to everyone who ever felt they were different. A deft hand at depicting the angst of teen years, Heather Brewer does a wonderful job blending vampire legend with the modern day horror that strikes fear in the heart of so many: the eighth grade."~Katie MacAlister, New York Times-bestselling author of EVEN VAMPIRES GET THE BLUES

"Heather Brewer has invented the most endearing of vampires in Vlad, an eighth grader juggling the woes of adolescence with the decidedly unique difficulties of being a vampire. She perfectly captures the humor and angst of eighth grade, mixed with a nail-biting adventure. Utterly charming and irresistible!" ~Liza Conrad, author of HIGH SCHOOL BITES: THE LUCY CHRONICLES

"This book will fool you. Just when you think you've identified it as a story lit by the cheery glow of a slightly scary jack-o-lantern, it becomes something else -- a tale told by the flickering light of a dying campfire late at night. And the shadows are very dark indeed. A surprising mix of humor and horror." ~Douglas Rees, author of VAMPIRE HIGH

"Fresh and fast-paced, with just the right brew of chills and laughs. I’m looking forward to finding out what happens when Vlad hits Grade Nine." ~Nancy Baker, author of KISS OF THE VAMPIRE

"A fabulous book from a gifted storyteller! I never wanted it to end." ~Gena Showalter, author of OH MY GOTH
