Some Vlad News!

Greetings, my Minions! Did we behave while Auntie Heather was away? I certainly hope not. My trip was long and exhausting, but if you live near Lexington, KY and want an autographed copy of EGB, head on over to Barnes & Noble.

In other news, Vlad was very pleased to see that chocolate won hands down. Mmmm....chocolate and blood....yummy. But...that's not the only news I have to share with you.

EIGHTH GRADE BITES has been nominated for the American Library Association's (ALA) Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers 2008!!! I couldn't be more thrilled (and neither could Vlad)...well, except by this next tasty morsel of news.

See, my publisher just signed on for two more books in the Vlad series!!! And it's all because of you, Minions. You've worked so hard to spread the word about Vlad that my publisher is very happy with my sales. So...keep up the good work!

Congrats, Auntie Heather. I'm going to be telling my teacher to put EGB on her library shelf to get people at my school to read it. :)= If they don't I'll make them. ^_^

WOOT! The secret plan to dominate the world is work... oopsie, I mean YEAH for Heather and Vlad!

Congrats on all your successes! I am currently loaning my copy out to some kids who can't afford to get it right now. I hear they are on their second reading.

Can't wait for NGS to hit the shelves.

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
