Auntie Heather and the Manuscript of Doom

de de dede de de de. de de dede de de de de de, de de dede de deDE, de deDEdeDEdeDEdededede...

(hey, if Indiana Jones gets cool theme music, so do I...)

Today is a happy day, Minions, as Auntie Heather gets to continue her work on ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS. I know what you're thinking: "11th?? But what about 10th??" Have no fear--TENTH GRADE BLEEDS is safe in the hands of my brilliant editor and will be in stores....eventually (still no word on the date). So for now, I'm hard at work on EGBurns (can't call it EGB--then you might get it confused with EIGHTH GRADE BITES). 16 pages in so far and omgomgomgomgomgomgomgzomg...the best yet. Of course, I think they get better with each book, but I may be absolutely wrong. You decide.

It feels very strange to meet Minions who are new to Vlad, new to Bathory, Otis, and Elysia...when I'm nearing the end of the series. And oh, I have so many secrets to share with you all. I hope you stick around until the series ends. It's gonna be one hell of a ride, Minions.

I hope, anyway...

I'm getting a ton of email asking for a hint about the Big New Contest. To answer those collectively: no, I won't give you a hint. But I promise it's going to be worth the wait.

By the way, if any Minions would like to hang out with me in Illinois, I'll be at Borders on May 31st (Saturday) in Fairview Heights, IL at 2pm. And I'll have yummy cookies and Minion Bling (blue AND red) and contests (hoodies and t-shirts!) and I'll answer questions and read some and talk about all sorts of stuff. So...come out. And bring a million friends. I tell you what, the first three people to bring five friends each get a vampire smiley t-shirt. (Auntie Heather is not above bribing people for their affection)

So the Vlad series is going to end at 4 books? That makes me sad ;_;...

You so need to come up to New Hampshire at the end of the series so you can sign all of my books (so selfish.

Blue minion bling? Now that is cool =D

I really do wish you could come to South Carolina (or NC, somewhere remotly close). I am going to miss Vlad once the series ends T_T . It shall be a sad event. You are killing us with anticipation with that door! Oh, how I wish the day would be today that we should all see what awaits us behind it!

Five books, froze, five. ;)

Funny you should mention SC, Rainbow, as I may be visiting there. Just waiting to hear back on a library and a school in that area who both contacted me. So...it's a definite maybe.

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
