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 for posting this, Heather. What Barbara Bauer did is unforgivable. Spread the word!
Thanks for helping to spread the word! I've added you to the list of sites participating in the googlebombing.
I am so completely disgusted by this. How can people be so completely bad?
I'm having a hard time being zen about this... I just want to punch BB and the ISP folks in the face.
It is things like this that make me wish I wasn't an ethical hacker... but alas I refuse to don the black hat.
Heather:
I just found out that a woman I coached, ghostwrote a nonfiction proposal for, and then edited her revision of the proposal just got a BIG deal with a major publisher and I am THRILLED.
But I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how many (over my 15 years as a book doctor, ghostwriter etc.) broken authors have come to me having spent THOUSANDS of dollars on scam editors, scam agents, and pathetic ghostwriters. People are desperate to be published and they will just fall for anything sometimes. This woman is just AWFUL . . . and I hope she gets what's coming to her.

First off, Erica!!! That's fabulous news! Congrats to her!
Scam agents are the lowest of the low. Just a bunch of slimy, predatory lowlifes. And sadly, authors fall victim to them all of the time. Thank the gods for groups like Writer Beware and people like Ann Crispin and Victoria Sanders.
Fees=bad, people. I can't say it enough. And this Bauer woman! She has a lot of gall to try to stop agent discussion.
Reminds me of this girl I once knew. She was rather *ahem* friendly with the boys and flaunted it, then whined because people said she was easy. But honey, if you don't want people to say you're easy...don't screw around so much!
Just remember folks: if it's true, it ain't libel.
More in the soap opera: It seems that the person who pulled the plug on AW -- thanks to screams from Barbara Bauer, Ph.D., one of Writer Beware's Twenty Worst Agents -- not only then relaunched her own competing writer's online community site -- she's also (according to one Writers Net person) married to the ISP dude behind the curtain.
Jeez.
Some good news: Miss Snark's rage knows no limits -- see her latest post about this. And Neil Gaiman has gotten in on the action as well.
Thanks for keeping us informed, Jax!
