An Explanation


You may have noticed, my Minions, that I've been slow to comment and to return emails/messages lately. Well, there's a reason for it, of course. Auntie Heather has to turn in TENTH GRADE BLEEDS this Friday and, to be honest, it's not quite finished. Oh, it will be, of that I have no doubts. But for now, I'm working very hard to make it perfect, and that's taking up a lot of my time. So, forgive me, Minions, but Auntie Heather is knee-deep in bloody pages right now. Things will return to normal (whatever that is) around here soon. Promise.

And lots of good things are heading your way soon! The website is getting a major update, a trailer for NINTH GRADE SLAYS is in the works, and the long-awaited store is on the verge of opening. (You'll know when that happens, as a link will be added to the site) Plus, some additional author appearances are currently being arranged, so hang in there! I really hope to meet as many of you as I possibly can.

But for now...it's back to work for Auntie Heather. Be well, my Minions!

Wait you're writing TGB now? I thought it wasn't coming out 'til next year... Well, don't stress yourself Auntie, relax, we can wait for your messages. Being such a great author might be hard, so we can understand if you need some time before replying to us. ^_^

I have NO IDEA how I pulled it off, but I turned in TGB last night. My amazing editor has it now (as far as I know). I'm attributing it to Minion Magic :)

And cd: Yep, you wouldn't believe how far in advance we authors write books...

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
