It's almost here!!!

Just about a week to go before the official debut of EIGHTH GRADE BITES and Vlad and I couldn't be happier (or more exhausted). In case you Minions are wondering where Auntie Heather has run off to recently, I've had interviews (including with the lovely Kim Alexander of XM Satellite Radio and the amazing Amanda Emery of MCC Chronicle), party details, and all sorts of last minute launch stuff to attend to. So...sorry. Kinda forgot to blog. My bad. :)=

I just wanted to let everybody know that in case you're interested in another opportunity to win Vlad's hoodie (because you've already entered the contest on my Win Things page...right?), you should head on over to TeensReadToo.com and enter to win one there (click here and scroll down)! And keep watching...because I've got several hoodies that are just itching for a home.

I also wanted to tell my Minion Horde (that would be you) to start checking stores now for any sign of EIGHTH GRADE BITES, because Vlad should be there soon (and once you see him, kindly snap off a pic and send it my way). And, as a heads-up, since this is a crazy busy time for me, blogging may be sparse. HOWEVER! I will always read your comments and emails...even if it does take me a bit to get back to you. We should be back to a regular blogging schedule come August 20th.

For now, get out there and read!!!

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
