Happy Halloween!!! (And the Last Hoodie Goes to....)

Brandi Baby!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! :)=

Now, now, my Minions, don't lose heart if you didn't win. This contest has been a ton of fun! And it just so happens that your Auntie Heather really, really, really likes to make you all crack tiny little bleak smiles, so please keep an eye on the blog(s), because there will be more give-aways. Promise. Cross my heart and hope to dye...my hair black with red streaks. Cool stuff, too, like ARCs (Advanced Reading Copies) of NINTH GRADE SLAYS, and other Vlad-oriented goodies that will set your little black hearts to flutter.

Many, many, many, many, many, many of you have clogged my Inbox with questions of whether or not I will offer the hoodies for sale now that the contest is over. So...here's the official answer: YES. But! There's a caveat. You'll have to wait until I set up a new page (read: my web designer does it for me) on my website that will act as a Minion Stuff store where you can purchase all sorts of cool Vlad stuff (some of which I've yet to order, but it's all way, way kewl. Trust me.). So...hang in here for a month or two or four while I gather up some neat stuff...and if you have any suggestions for things you'd love with Vlad's vampire smiley on it...I'm all ears (and fangs). In the meantime, patience is a virtue. So...please try to be virtuous for at least a little while, 'kay?

Now, what are we all going as for Halloween? See, to Auntie Heather, every day is Halloween, but it's nice when the rest of the world gets into the spirit of such an excellent holiday (btw, Merry Samhain to my fellow Pagans!). I was planning on being a zombie, but instead, I'm using tonight as yet another excuse to don my ren garb and go as a wench. Hmmm...maybe a wench whose been bitten by a vampire...? What about you, Minions?

P.S. Any pics you send me of you dressed as a vampire or of you in Vlad's hoodie or of you wearing Minion Bling....I'll put them in my MySpace Pics folder.

P.P.S If you've created (or are interested in creating) fan art of Vlad, you should join this awesome group, created by one of your fellow Minions!

Well dammit... I mean congrats to all the winners :)

Happy All Hallows, Halloween, and Merry Samhain to all.

OK, I'm off to be anti-social and start on NaNoWriMo - and grouse about the lack of really cool hoodies in my wardrobe... *grumble, grumble, grumble*

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
