"Mark" Your Calendars! *HEEsnort*

AHAHAHAHAHAHA--I kill me!! *cough* Um...okay...only my loyalest of Minions, the ones that have already read EIGHTH GRADE BITES will get why that's funny. But still...MARK! Ha!

Anyhoo, back to more Vlad news. Vlad and I are happy to announce that the second book in the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series (NINTH GRADE SLAYS) is set to be hitting shelves a bit earlier than we thought. The technical "On shelf" date (meaning stores should have it on their shelves by this date) is July 3, 2008! Wooohooo!!! Over a month earlier than anticipated!!! But, it gets better, because my editor said that depending on the stores, you guys could start seeing V2 (Vlad two...ha! I'm funny AND cool!) as soon as mid-June! So...get ready, Minions...cuz this one really takes it up a notch. There's a lot more action, Vlad learns a lot more about the vampire world (and about himself), and of course, humor abounds--all wrapped up in a tasty tortilla of travel (and no, he's not going to Mexico--anybody have a guess where he's going?). Plus, it's a good chunk longer (for all you Minions who wanted EGB to last longer). So get ready!

Also, don't forget, if you want to win a hoodie, send me (by email or just post here) your creative version of my bio--the hoodie goes to the best one on my birthday: Friday, September 21st! And watch this space all through October...as I have something BIG planned...

Heather Brewer is one hundred and sixty-two years young, and writes books about her adopted brother Vladimir Tod, the most current book being Eight Grade Bites. Which very closely chronicles Vladimir Tod’s live in the eight grade.
Heather was not your typical child when growing up she had always felt the need to become a vampire, in which she was by none other Count Dracula when she was the ripe old age if 19. Heather has started her own group of Vampires naming them simply ‘Minions’—these Minions are asked to wear special Minion buttons that are given at the first bite.
She writes Valdimir’s stories from what he tells her, she does this when she is wearing her black Happy Bunny pajama bottoms. You can find her dancing under a fool moon with her minions, putting her mark on every book in sight as well as attending renaissance faires looking for new minions.
Heather loves to receive email from her Minions which she LOVES to receive.

I always hate waiting for the next book in a series to come out, so it's good to hear about Vlad's next adventure.

I'm always terribly impatient waiting for the next book too, Lynn. It's odd to be on the other side of the waiting. :)=

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
