Are You Ready, My Minions???

Auntie Heather is FREAKING OUT with excitement, Minions! Because Monday morning (as in midnight-oh-one-a.m.), June 16th, the big Super Secret Contest goes live!!! Are you thrilled? Dizzy with anticipation? Yeah...I thought you might be.

Now, as I've said before, this contest is unlike any other contest I've run before. We're talking the coolest, most expensive prizes I've offered to date. We're talking Penguin is placing a 1/3 page ad in Nickelodeon Magazine (July issue - hits homes/stores June 17th) and sponsoring the contest on a cool contest site which shall remain nameless until Monday! It also means that you'll have to work extra hard to win. Because whether or not you win won't be up to me...it'll be up to you.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Gawd, I love torturing the Horde sometimes...

What's the contest about? Well...I guess you'll find out on Monday. :)=

Good luck, Minions!

And by the way, I just got the news this morning that Barnes & Noble (woops, almost typed "brains"...I'm feeling very zombie-ish today) will have Vlad Tod end caps in stores across the country in July!!! (FYI, an "end cap" is the end of one of their big shelf things, normally reserved for people like Stephenie Meyer...so clearly B&N has lost their mind, but in a good way, as they're spreading the Vlad love) But dude...all Vlad books. I feel special. So does Vlad. :)=

i forgot to put this:

when i was at B&N a couple of girls asked me to recomend a book, and (of course) i told then to read EGB and NGS.

i also bought Go Ask Alice. it looks really good.

Coolies, I'll have to wait until the 22nd or 23rd though since I have to go on the trip with my friend, but I'm glad it's up for a long time. Gah, hopefully luck will reconsider me and actually be on my side this time (it never is) >_> Though, what would be really cool to win, would be if there was a Vlad plushie. *squee!* That would be so adorable!! \(^o^)/

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
