Touchable Pants

Here we go, Minions. The reason Paul said the weird things about pants being touchable (he says weird things all the time, but I felt this one needed clarification) is that I have a brand spankin' new cover for EIGHTH GRADE BITES! And with the cool, glossy black ink they plan to use, Vlad's pants...well, I think they'll be touchable too. Let me know what you think.

Here's the front:
And here's the back:

I'm particularly in love with that vampire smiley (DUDE! How COOL is that??). The colors, the boy. It's all so perfect! Not that I didn't love my last cover (I really did), but this one just feels right, y'know? My editor summed it up best when she said that after she saw this cover, she couldn't imagine any other cover for EGB.

Now I just have to let my brilliant web designer know my site needs more changes...

so... looking really fabulous!!!!

Love the fanged-smiley :)= on the hoodie. As soon as you can get those made up I will buy one. Size is XL. I don't care how much it is... I have to have one.

Congrats on the cool new cover, and of course everything else. I'd cross my fingers for you about the draft you have in with your agent... but I know it'll be a hit :)

Gawd, do I (heart) this new cover! I printed it out and have it (sadly, in black and white only) hanging over my computer monitor. It's yumilicious! And yes yes yes, I NEED new Heather swag! Being a minion is fine and dandy, but dang it, I WANT THAT HOODIE.

Hey, can MY EGB hoodie have a small "I'm with the succubus" on the back? ((waggles eyebrows))

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
