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 |

Thanks, Bethany! I'm so geeked. Of course, now I'll be moving on to WONDERLAND after a brief reading break.
*sigh*
Ought to be interesting. ;)
*makin' with the happy, makin' with the happy*
OK, so now my co-workers are staring at me.
*hunkers back down to avoid more strange looks*
Really though, congratulations. The feeling of finishing the first draft is, at least for me, such a huge weight off of the shoulders. I was completely euphoric when I finished the first draft of my last (and still far from being published) book. However the need to write drove me back to the keyboard after 3 days... so much for euphoria.
Happy Friday and here is to a great weekend.
Yay happy! Thanks. :)
I need at least a month away from the draft in order to see it clearly. But I busy myself with a lot of reading & occasionally, I'll delve into other projects. And vacuuming.
Well...not really.
You need a roomba!
What's a roomba? Is it like a maid, only free?
well, sort of... it is a robot that vacums your floors and carpets. So, it is like a maid, but not really. And you only have to pay once, not every time it cleans.
Here are two blog entries someone wrote about getting their first roomba:

And I'll be doing a lot of vacuuming this weekend. Downstairs. Upstiars. Stairs. Also need to scrub down all the bathrooms. Hope my wife appreciates it :)
I need one of those.
But only if it compliments my eyes and brings me chocolate. :)
Well, I'm sure with a little hacking that could be accomplished :)
That and a wee little spraypaint 'll do ya fine (said in Shrek accent).
As Jean Luc Picard is wont to say...Make it so. :)
Huzzah, Heather! You and Vlad are AWESOME.
Awww, thank you, Jax! *kish kish*
Woo-hoooooo! Good for you, darling!
Proud of ya.
The Faery Lady ;)
My favorite Faery Lady!!!
