Attack of the Killer Snopire!!!

"What's a snopire?" Well, it's what happens when you give my husband and daughter snow, accessories, and a free day. My son says we all have frostbite now. I'm just jazzed that our front yard is home to a vampire made of snow. Do you think he looks a little like Otis?


But that's not all that's been going on here. I contacted the winners of my latest big contest yesterday!!! Still waiting to hear back from three of them (marked with asterisks below--so if you see your name, drop me a line!). And the grand prize winner (also known as She Who Gets A Character Named After Her In TENTH GRADE BLEEDS) is KYLIE MCAULIFFE!!! Big congrats, Kylie!!

And big congrats to the winners of the advanced copies of NINTH GRADE SLAYS: Frenchcatt, jedi_clark, eriksangel*, coley_me*, and rapidash728*!!!

This contest was really successful--thank you all for participating. And keep an eye out for a new one soon! (And if you still really, really want an ARC...see my last blog post)

Snopire! Cool! He does remind me of Otis... *sigh* I wish it would snow like that down here. It only snowed once (in my lifetime) and my mom said it was the first in 15 years. It's been about 3 years since then, I hope it doesn't take another 12 or more. Congratulations to everyone that won!!! And better luck next time to those (including me) who didn't get it! :)=

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
