A Plea to My Minion Horde (Also, Hoodies, Day 6)

Okay, Minions, pull up a nice fluffy chair and get cozy. There ya go. Got your favorite pillow? Your blood Slurpee with the cool black bendy straw? Good. Because Auntie Heather feels the need to do a public service announcement here (or, at the very least, an Auntie Heather service announcement).

A few Minions have written now, saying that they can't find a copy of EIGHTH GRADE BITES at their local bookstore. If you run into this dilemma (or if you just happen to notice a store is not carrying EIGHTH GRADE BITES), please please PLEASE ask a sales associate to order more. Believe it or not, booksellers absolutely listen to their customers for what to put on the shelves. And we want everybody to fall as much in love with Vlad and his crazy life as we have, right? And we want Auntie Heather to be able to keep writing and publishing books about our favorite fanged friend, right? Well, the only way for that to happen is to get books on shelves and into readers' hands. Sales=me publishing more books about Vlad. No sales=me maybe not finishing the Vlad series *shivers* It's a sad truth, but there ya have it. And the easiest way for the good stuff to happen is for all of you to band together as the Minion Horde and make it happen.

If you know of anyone who hasn't read EIGHTH GRADE BITES, please urge them to do so. They can borrow it from the library or a friend, buy it, whatever, but a big goal of our Horde here should be to spread the Vlad love. So far, it's looking good out there, and I absolutely appreciate each and every one of you for doing what you can to tell others about my series. Fangs a lot, Minions! :)=

Okay, back to hoodies. For the rules, see the past bajillion entries (I'm feeling lazy today). The winner of Day 5's hoodie is Shawn! And today's question is this:

Day 6 (Drawing on October 17th): Who is the man in black?

Well when I can go to Wal-mart I'll be sure to look for Eighth Grade Bites and if they don't have it I'll go talk to someone. I'll try to cheak the library (and both school libraries) When I can.

Heather, every time I'm in the book store I find all the EGB's and I turn them face out. :D

And yay Shawn!! He's going to be sooo excited when he gets home from school. He's been planning to go as Vlad for Halloween.

Heehee, Auntie Heather. :)= I already have Eighth Grade Bites but it would be so cool if it were in my school's book fair, which I hope they have again this year. I absolutely LOVE bookfairs! Also my friends could get it if they want. :)=

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
