Contest Time!

Okay, first, a weather update. It's snowy. Like crazy I-am-not-leaving-the-house snowy. However, the temperatures definitely allow for velvet and wool, so I am a happy Auntie Heather. :) I've spent the last few days sipping from steamy mugs with Vlad (mine's full of cocoa...his...well, I'll let you guess), and I'm actually enjoying this winter.

And yes, I realize I still have a few hoodies in boxes, sitting here waiting to be shipped. Aren't I a terrible author?? But in my defense, I have been busier than ever lately (notice the blog slowing down?) and I'm also a bit of a forgetful idiot on occasion. So please, forgive me! Hoodies are on their way shortly. To make it up to you all, I'll send you an extra bit of happiness.

Now, on to the goodies! Check out my Win Things page (link is at the top of this page), and make sure you enter, and let me know what you think of the prizes. :)=

Cool contest. It would be cool to actually get my name in a book because my name's so uncommon, especially with the way it's written. Also, don't fret about being forgetful Auntie, we're all forgetful. And we know, being the author of an amazing book and all, you'd be busy.

Man that contest rocks. Please with everything that is good and vampirey let my bad luck not ruin my chance to win!

Anyways. Glad you're enjoying winter! I'm not, it's too cold for me, and my school doesn't believe in snow days. Hopefully I'll survive ;D

I only wish you could all win! :)=

On the cold: I used to complain. But this year, I realized that my wardrobe lends itself to a nip in the air. So I'll take it ;)

Hmmm... winter in SoCal seems... so... tame :)

I had to put on a light jacket the other morning. Been sunny otherwise.

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
