This Will Be Fun

It seems that I now have a Wikipedia page, Minions...so I thought we'd have a little fun with it. I'm putting the Minion Horde (that would be you--and if you're new to the blog, yes, that includes you too) in charge of creating an interesting background for me.

Rules:

1. Truth or creative version of truth (ie, a total, outrageous falsehood) is completely acceptable.
2. Keep it PG, please.
3. Anything involving vampires gets you bonus kudos from yours truly.

In fact, I tell ya what, whoever writes the most entertaining thing on my Wikipedia page will win a hoodie. Let's give it until my birthday, September 21st, and I'll announce the winner.

Have fun!

IMPORTANT EDIT: (Thanks to Lola, who gets five gajillion Minion points for bringing this up) It turns out, we can't edit Wikipedia with anything FUN (stupid Wikipedia! They only want the "facts"...)...but if you tell me what you'd like to see there, you're entered.

I would love to see a section in the wikipedia that mentions vampires coming out of the proverbial closet and thanking you for actually getting their story right for once and voting you the most popular human in vampire-kind history.

But if we can't have that, then maybe a mention of how hard you work to write stories for young adults to encourage them to read and be literate... not to mention speaking engagements and radio interviews, etc.

Acknowledgment is a good thing :)

Hm...I'd say something like a rumor about vampires (no duh XD) tracking you down to find out how much you know of there kind.

I know, I should have thought of something better. But school has killed my brain ._.

I'd like to see more Vlad facts, like what type of vampire he is.

I wouldn't mind something like the history of vampires and how it all started, or just a bunch of facts about you Miss Brewer! XD

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
