Psst!

Yeah, you! There's a little change you might want to check out. Look right. Go on, look. I'll wait. See my profile? See "August 2007"? Yeah, that's right...Vlad has a date! Well...at least he has a month...which is better than a season. Yay, Vlad!

The cool thing is that my son will be thirteen and starting the eighth grade that August. So, you know, that RAWKS.

Apart from being all sorts of squeaky happy at my catalog copy (Thanks, Maureen!) and super geeked that I handed in my author's photo, not to mention my glee at seeing a month attached to my book along with an ISBN number, this week is sending me into giggly fits as Ninth Grade Sucks comes together. It's funny how you can be so lost as a writer and then, like a puzzle, everything clicks and the world is on its way to right again.

Of course, tomorrow I'll suck again and question why I ever thought anything I've ever written had vbeen fit for human perusal. But today isn't tomorrow. So today, I'm feeling rather good.

Of course, now I'm off to pay bills...which should really suck the happy out of my day.

By the by, if anyone still wants a Minion button (ie Minion Bling), I'm happy to oblige, just email. (As it is, I'm amazed how many people have emailed, asking for them. You minions rock!)

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
