at long last, Tenth Grade Bleeds news...


So...I have news. Big news. As in TENTH GRADE BLEEDS news.

Before I share this news with the Minion Horde (ie, you), I just want to say that if you liked EIGHTH GRADE BITES and NINTH GRADE SLAYS, TENTH GRADE BLEEDS is gonna blow your friggin' socks off. It's got A LOT more action - to be blunt, Vlad kicks major ass in this one. And it's even longer than NGS. It is absolutely worth the wait.

Which brings me to my news.

It turns out there will be a bit of a wait before TGB is released. Actually a long wait. Try July of 2009.

But dude. In July of 2009 you are all going to DEVOUR this book. Not to brag, but it's just that good. Much darker than its predecessors, much bloodier, and my favorite in the series so far. I promise that it's worth the wait (and it seems there will be a long wait). But at least you know what to mark on your calendars now...

Okay, more news: my son, Jacob, is way funny, and he recently created his first ever YouTube video. It's his approach to "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance (if you are offended by naughty words, don't click...or do click, and just don't complain). Anyhoo, check it out here and maybe go over to YouTube and leave him a comment or two.

Hey, a year is nothing for a book after waiting each new book of Keys to The Kingdom by Garth Nix. A book a year is pretty typical actually ^_^ So what I'm saying is, I don't mind! ^_^

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
