Stick a Stake in Me....

I'm done. (But please, keep it away from Vlad--he has a phobia, ya know) Well, kinda done. I'm done revising Ninth Grade Sucks well enough to send it on to my brilliant Critique Partner and amazing readers, anyway. Then, after some tweaks, I'm sending it on to my fabulous agent...along with the revised outline for Beyond the Looking Glass (yeah, the Wonderland book). I've been a productive lil Minion Overlord this week!

Plus, my incredible editor informs me that there may be (cross your fingers, minions!) some really wonderful news coming our way soon. It involves the cover for Eighth Grade Bites, a genius designer, and the possibility of having the most perfect photographer EVER involved. But...I can't say any more until we know for sure. After all, I wouldn't want to jinx it. (But suffice it to say that if you look like Vlad--pale, skinny, black hair, dark eyes--and live in the Bay area, you need to get out this weekend and make yourself visible)

As for Auntie Heather...well, it's time she got back to work. But after I turn Ninth Grade Sucks and the Wonderland outline in to my agent, I'm going to take a brain-refresher and not write for a few weeks. Does the muse good, you know? Gives him time to fluff up his tutu. :)

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
