One More Bite...

How sick of my updates are you getting, minions? Pretty sick? Well, have no fear, for I can see the horizon at last. Today I begin Chapter Fourteen revisions...and there are only fifteen chapters in the book. I'm taking my time with these last ones, though--because they're probably the roughest in the whole book. I'm sure I'll figure them out. I'm just dreading the work I know is ahead of me.

Thanks to some pretty amazing friends over at Backspace, my great query is even greater! Special thanks go to Jackie Kessler. Keep an eye out for this one--something tells me she's going to be a name you'll all recognize soon.

But enough dragging my feet...time to finish eighth grade.

I hope you have an appropriate reward set up for yourself when you finish. You need the proper motivation of course!

Knowing it's finished is enough of a reward for me. :) But I will be celebrating by spending an entire weekend photographing headstones--a hobby that I dearly love.

Wow, I saw your link to The Clarity of Night on technorati, then stopped back here to check your comments. Photographing headstones! I see we've got the same solemn fascination! I'm adding a link back to you now. I hope we'll be visiting often!

Not too common a hobby we share, Jason. I'll be visiting your blog often!

(and I hope my minions will follow suit--that's some amazing story you've got going on over there!)

Thank you Heather! Be sure to post some of your pictures.

And, yes, minions, please do stop over. It's a full moon and the night is quiet.

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
