Brrrrrrrr...I'm f-f-f-freeeezing!

Vlad is chipping icecicles off of his fangs and I'm as bundled up as I can get, perched in front of a heater. All we can do is shiver. Methinks it's time for a visit to one of two things. A) a sauna or B) a beach. But, as Vlad and I have access to neither right now, we'll have to suffer with a wind chill factor of ONE FRIGGIN' DEGREE!

Not to mention that my fingers are so cold, it's hard to type. *grumble* But type I shall, as I woke up with the urge to tweak a few more aspects of NINTH GRADE SUCKS. Now if I could only thaw my brain enough to focus...

You know you have an open invitation to visit... and the beach is only a short drive away :)


You need one of those fleece body sacks that I believe come from Lands End... and heated gloves for writing.

The only thing I'm missing is the Godiva liquer...

I feel like a writing hobo.

We've been in a deep freeze for weeks! Yesterday we had a windchill of - 36C...tomorrow its supposed to be a scorching +1C...talk about a mad switch!

Girlfriend, get yourself some toasty slippers, a good cozy shawl to leave at the writing desk and a polar fleece sweater...then you'll be set!

I'm saving my pesos to get a coffee maker for my writing desk...I'm too damn lazy and cold to go down stairs to reheat!

Nic ;-D

Brrr, Nic, that makes me colder just reading it! Today I'm adding fluffy socks and seriously looking into that shawl. The cold makes me ache--always has.

Ooooh, Devon, you're my hero! :-*

Have you seen the warming vest and gloves they featured on HGTV's "I want that!"? I get toasty just thinking about them.

Those names sound vaguely familiar...but honestly, I haven't lived in Michigan for eight years now, and have only briefly been back since I left (like four times total). :)

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
