13 Hoodies for Halloween (Day 3)!

Ooooooh, can you feel the tension?? We're down to ELEVEN hoodies now! Big congrats to Val on winning Day 2's hoodie! And...on to the third hoodie give-away.

To recap (stop me if you've heard this one): I'm going to give away 13 of Vlad's hoodies throughout October. And you can win one!

I'm going to be running this contest a little differently than I have done so in the past. This time, you don't need to sign up for my newsletter at all, and I won't be posting it on my Win Things page, just on my blog and MySpace. It's very simple. I'm going to give away 13 of Vlad's hoodies, as featured on the cover of EIGHTH GRADE BITES, over the course of October, which just so happens to be Vlad's favorite month of all (and my favorite number). Do you have a hoodie yet? No? Well then, here's your chance!

It's super simple to enter. I'm going to ask a question about EIGHTH GRADE BITES. All you have to do is either post your answer here, message me on MySpace or email me your answer. If you get it right, you're entered into that day's drawing.

(NOTE: BE CAREFUL READING COMMENTS DURING OCTOBER, AS YOU MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY ENCOUNTER SPOILERS!)

I'll draw for that contest right before I post the next question, which is when I'll announce the previous contest winner.

If you don't win, keep entering! (But if you do win, hey man, give the other Minions a chance...you can't win again) And, to increase your chances, for every place online that you encourage people to come on over and check out my contest (be it a blog, forum, MySpace comment, wherever), if you can send me proof (ie, a link), I'll give you an additional entry for that day's contest.

Now, you don't have to buy the book, but it really helps if you've read it. So borrow it from a friend, pick one up at the library, or if you like, buy a copy, and you'll have a much better chance at winning (and yeah, it's okay if you cheat by reading answers here...after all, it's none of my business if you're a cheater). You'll want to study up and get those answers to me as quick as you can. Because this contest is really a series of thirteen contests...and these hoodies are going to go fast (time flies when you're having fun, right?). Remember: if you don't enter...you can't win!

So, good luck...and here is today's question!

Day 3 (Drawing is on October 11th): What's the name of Vlad's crush?

The answer is Meredith. By the way, Heather, how did you come up with that name? :*)

Ah, good question ;)

I decided to name her Meredith, because the first girl my son ever had an enormous crush on was named Meredith. It was my nod to him. :)

I really like the name Meredith. I have a friend named Meredith but everyone calls her Mimi for short. How the heck do you get Mimi out of Meredith?????

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
