Major Contest News (and also, Auntie Heather = mopey today)


(Pic thanks to Lola!!)

Auntie Heather is feeling waaaaaaay stereotypical goth today. In a word: bleak. But we'll get to that in a moment.

First: fangs so much to all the Minions who came out to see me at Borders!!! It was so cool hanging out with you guys, and I hope we can do it again soon (see my Appearances page). Borders was wonderful--the staff there in Creve Coeur are absolutely top-notch, and it was my pleasure to do an event there.

Okay. Mopeyness. I hate waiting. That's pretty much what all my mopeyness boils down to. Especially when I'm waiting for feedback on a manuscript. I know it's coming eventually (and that my editor is insanely busy), but I'm going nuts over the waiting. How do my Minions deal with their impatience?

Oh...btw...you might want to stay tuned to this lil secret. Just sayin'. :)=

Hm...impatience...

Well it depends on what I'm waiting for...

The chance to talk to a friend=Writing them a letter

Waiting for a book to come out=read another in the meantime

I spend most of my time doing school stuff, reading, and rping (besides for right now as Kait can't use her phone). Watching TV can pass the time too. I recommend you watch Moonlight, it's one of my favorites.

I hope you don't have to wait too long though!

I adore the minions pic :)=

You're not alone. I felt mopey today too. When I feel all mopey and impatient, I read, watch Moonlight (which I agree is an awesome show), watch youtube videos, and sometimes I just look around for funny pics like that kitty/minion one. Eventually, you'll find something to do and get so caught up in it that time is going to fly by like something that flies really fast. (I also like to put my fake fangs in that I got at Hot Topic, stare into the mirror, and pretend I'm a vampire)

Peace and Vamp Love!

Well usually if I am waiting on something coming soon, I'd fantasize. :)= But, if that doesn't work, I'd go read short stories online. A lot of young writers put their stuff online to get feedback from others. And I bet they'd like a real author to comment as well. So it'd be a fun thing to do.

P.S: The "big thing" coming pic is awesome. :)=

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
