Catch-Up Time!


Orkut Scrap Toys


How are my Minions? Auntie Heather is good. Let's see, updates: I (and by "I", I mean my wonderful new stylist, Jason) dyed my hair various layers of red and black (I was going to go with a bright, bright red, but didn't in the end, as I wanted a permanent dye this time and the bright red is only a semi-permanent--so it's more a rich, deep red). I learned yesterday that my launch party cookies (which feature the cover of NINTH GRADE SLAYS) have shipped out, so they should be here any time. I've been playing a lot of Rock Band (and loving it, even though I question many of the song choices on there). And I'm crazy busy with all the last minute preparations before I leave town (FYI, there will be no blog entries from April 16-21).

I'm so glad you like the Zazzle t-shirts! I'll continue to add to the collection as great ideas surface. In fact, I've decided to discontinue the vampire smiley t-shirts and only carry the hoodies for another few months on my site: it's just too time-intensive (read: takes away from my Vlad time) to deal with, and I really think the hoodie love with wane soon anyway. We're also going to have a bit of a shake-up regarding how I handle the Minion Bling orders, but what I've come up with will be much easier and much faster for everyone. No worries! You'll still get free Bling, and you'll get it a lot quicker. Auntie Heather is just on an "Operation: make Auntie Heather's life easier" kick.

So...how's stuff, Minions?

Red and Black!? I wish I could dye my hair like that but my mom won't even let me paint my fingernails black. -_- Anyway, life is alright here. I printed out my story so far for my friends to read and they love it! I feel so happy. ^_^ Though, they did point out to me a few errors here and there... Also, you need to come down to Louisiana sometime Auntie! Sometime during the summer would be great. (: I would love to meet you!

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
