Trust Me...You Want To Know Him

Minions, I'd like to introduce you to the coolest kid around. He's been the inspiration for Vlad on more than one occasion, he's a percussionist, an artist, and one hell of a funny guy. He also looks eerily similar to Paul (you'll understand this comment a bit more in a second). His name is Jacob Brewer.

That's right, Jacob's my son. And I'd like to take a moment to tell you about the biggest day in Jacob's life. It took place on February 21, 2007, just a few short days ago.

After years and years of wishing, hoping, dreaming that this day would come, after spending Summer and Winter vacations away from his family in places he didn't want to be, with people he didn't want to be with, doing things he didn't want to do, Jacob has finally been adopted by my husband, Paul. It's a big reason to celebrate, Minions--huge. Jacob has been asking daily about this very event for years, and it's finally come along.

So, to help Jacob celebrate, why don't all you Minions add him as a MySpace friend and give him a hearty congratulatory comment? I'm sure he'll reply...that is, just as soon as he stops floating on the ceiling in bliss...

(Psst! Jacob! Check it out--I think I managed to get through that post without embarassing you once! Of course, there's always tomorrow...and I do have a reputation to uphold...)

Congrats, Jacob! Heather, I'll have to leave him a comment on MySpace whenever I stop being lazy and open up a MySpace account. I just got my blog. I don't have a website either. I'm behind the times, I guess. LOL!

I'm there with you on the behind the curve thing. I'm not on myspace, can't keep my blog up-to-date, and there is no web page coming in the near future... I barely have time to write and edit.

Ewoh,
I'm glad I'm not alone. I am not a fan of technology, neither is Stephen King. Check out Cell if you haven't already. LOL.

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
