Catching Up

What a horrible, rogue blogger I've been lately. But I have an excuse! Actually, a couple. For one, I was busy setting up my 'Blood Test' contest. I was also busy enjoying the company of Ms. Linda Levandoski's 'Books Fall Open' class at Pattonville Heights Middle School (her 7th and 8th graders are brilliant, funny, and about as cool as you can get). I was brushing up NINTH GRADE SUCKS for my fabulous agent's perusal (which he'll be perusing over the holidays--yay!). And I've also been dealing with (read: entering full-on SQUEE! mode) some news that I'm not ready to sahre here just yet (soon, my minions...I promise--think "touchable pants"). In short, I've been a busy little Minion overlord.

So catch me up...what have my Minions been up to?

I turned in my massively revised edits for VAMPIRE ACADEMY today, completed by candlelight and a car-charged laptop during Seattle's recent blackout.

If Vlad would like to be pen pals with older women (i.e. a 17-year old vampire and dhampir duo), I'll totally hook him up.

Dude! They totally have a lot in common! (and no worries about hickeys) :)=

Congrats on those revisions, Richelle!

Thanks...I was pretty tired when I posted that comment. I think I've already made that joke about him and older women before. Man, I need new material.

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
