And Now, Something Completely Expected...


Yep. Bored. That's me.

After struggling with the stress and panic of completing, then polishing the manuscript of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS...after complaining, whining, and waiting to have a break, just one lousy break...here I am, thinking "now what?" Oh the irony! And the funny thing is that I do this every time I finish with a project. You'd think I'd get used to it.

Now, what I could do, my Minions, is dedicate this time to being highly productive: return emails (which I'm desperately behind on), return messages, help a few friends with writing-related stuff, maybe vaccuum. But no. Not me.

I'm moping, and letting my mind wander, because what I really want to do is write, but can't because I need to clear out the mental cobwebs for a while. Pout pout. Mope mope. Poor widdow me. *stab*

But I comfort myself with the knowledge that I'm going to see MCR (My Chemical Romance) on May 3rd, and that the paperback of EIGHTH GRADE BITES is out in two weeks (March 13th).

Huh....it just occurred to me how ME ME ME my blog has been lately. What do you guys wanna talk about? I'm game.

I've been kinda busy lately with school work and stuff, still finishing my I-search but it will be over by Friday. :D Usually when I'm bored and have nothing to do I either work on my story, play the Sims, or just watch some of the shows I like on the Internet. (One Piece) ^_^ I'm not really sure what else to talk about Auntie, we don't mind hearing about you, but maybe we could idk...how about what we're all doing this summer? Or just any other thing random that you'd like to know about us Auntie. :)=

I killed a Sim on purpose once and I felt so bad about myself I stopped playing... I do not have the right moral toughness as you, ma'am, clearly.

CD--that's so wrong on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. ;)

Noel--nope! Catch me up. I just became a fan of Deathnote.

DM--clearly, you're a better person than I am. ;) I once held a Sim birthday party (you know how you put out a birthday cake and balloons and people come over for the party?) and no one made it out alive. I did feel bad at first....but it made a lovely cemetery.

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
