Hoodies -or- In Response to 50% of the Emails I Receive

I get it. You like the hoodie Vlad's wearing on the cover of EIGHTH GRADE BITES. Like it? Oh heck no! You LOVE it! You want to know where you can get one for your very own. And you will stop at nothing until you have one.

Only, there's a problem. See, Auntie Heather only has two hoodies left. That's right. TWO. As in "one, two, buckle my shoe". TWO. And one goes to this contest. The other I'll be giving away at Borders in Fairview Heights, IL at the BREAKING DAWN midnight release party, along with many t-shirts (as featured on the cover of NINTH GRADE SLAYS). So what's a Minion to do??

Well, first, you enter the Sugarloot contest. It's easy. It's free. And you promote the heck outta your entry, because you could win all sorts of cool stuff, INCLUDING A HOODIE. Second, you get your butt to Borders in Fairview Heights, IL the evening of August 1st and grab a raffle ticket from Paul (don't worry--I'll point you in his general direction). It's free to enter. And there will be a ton of fun, free stuff going on. And you know you want to grab a copy of BREAKING DAWN anyway...

Third...well, third is where it gets a bit complicated. You have a choice. You either A) Let it go, and realize that you and Vlad's hoodie are not meant to be. -or- B) You become a patient individual and wait for Auntie Heather to announce that the new, zip-up hoodies are in stock (they AREN'T...but they will be soon). Your choice. I'd go with B.

And stop asking me where you can get a hoodie.

Okay, you can ask, but I'm pointing you to this blog entry.

OOOH! Wait! There's another option! Option C: you can make your own. And send Auntie Heather cool pics of it!

I like that option too. So does Vlad. :)=

Ah, yes, the Minion Bling! A note on that: I'm going to be doing a HUGE shipment of bling in August. So...if you sent me your address, I have it on my list and you'll get some soon. And very shortly, we'll be switching up things on how Minion Bling is given out (going to an SASE system).

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
