Another Delicious Blurb!

I have an ever-growing list of personal gods and goddesses. And I'm adding Erica Orloff's name to it today.

Erica Orloff is the brilliant, talented, sweeter-than-life author of more than a dozen books. And she was kind enough to read Eighth Grade Bites and give me a blurb. I'm asking you, minions, to pay Erica (who also writes as Liza Conrad) back by buying one (or more!) of her many wonderful books. I'm so thrilled that she enjoyed her peek into Vlad's world!

"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

Thanks, Erica! You rule. (and I'm pretty sure Vlad just blushed a little at all the compliments...so, he thanks you too)

Congratulations yet again. Great blurb.

Having not yet read your book I can't say how deserving it is, however, being the loyal minion that I am, I know it to be only a reflection of the greatness of your work.

Seriously. That has got to feel really great to have someone you look up to say such nice things about your work.

Hi Heather:
Thanks for the shout-out. :-) Like I emailed you, enjoy the ride. You will only ever have one "first novel" publishing experience. Have fun!

What a FABOO blurb, Heather! Now that I'm writing a YA novel, I'll absolutely have to pick up HSS. Any author who helps Heather is a friend of mine... :)

That reminds me...I really should compose a "Required Minion Reading" list of the YA books I love.

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
