It's All Shiny and New!

I'm the proud new owner of a drool-worthy blurb for EIGHTH GRADE BITES! Christopher Moore (author of Bloodsucking Fiends and several other incredible books) was sweet enough to read Vlad's tale while on tour for A Dirty Job and had this to say:

"Eighth Grade Bites is a terrific vampire tale told with a sharp, middle-school grin. It definitely does not bite!"

He rules. And I bow before his greatness.

You are the queen of the blurbs.

Congrats on your latest aquisition.

I'm dying just waiting for this to come out so I can read it. Please have your pulisher hurry up the process for me.

Yeah, hurry the publisher up already! :)

Two of my nephews are in eighth grade this year, followed by two more by the time the book is published. I'm poised and ready to contribute to your royalty check anytime now.

XO,
Christopher

Okay, you impatient minions. ;) There's only so much I can do to ensure my book will be in your greedy little hands ASAP. And I'm doing it ("it" pretty much encompasses sitting, waiting, and doing as I'm told).

But Summer 2007 (unless something changes), my Vlasd will be yours. :)

HUZZAH!!!

And I'll be buying at least five copies of the hardcover, sweetie -- one for each of my sons (who won't be old enough to read them for a few years...I figure the value will appreciate, especially with an autograph...), one for my godsons, one for my good friend's son, and one for me. :)

Count me in for copies! Signed of course. I'll buy them here, then ship them there (do I sound like Dr. Suess?)

I may have to keep one copy behind to read so I don't have to wait.

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
