Spontaneous Mini-Contest!

Auntie Heather is in a giving mood. Apart from the art contest, I think the Minion Horde needs a quickie contest here on the blog. Don't you, Minions?

So...do you know what a haiku is? Well, good (if you do...if not, go to that link and read - it's basically a poem with three lines, first line has five syllables, second has seven, third has five). Because we're going to hold a Vlad Tod haiku mini-contest!!!

I'll leave this open until September 30th and pick/announce the winner on October 1st. To enter, just post your Vlad-inspired (or any other character/whatnot from my books) haiku as a comment to this thread. If you post anonymously (which you can do if you don't have a Blogger account), make sure you post your name and then watch the blog on October 1st to see if you've won. You only get one shot, one entry, so make it a good one. I'll be holding two contests - one here and the other on MySpace. Feel free to enter both.

What will you win? Why, 100 of your very own Minion Horde business cards!


You can pass them out to non-Minion friends, use them as bookmarks, horde them away like an evil troll...whatever you want. They're yours.

Get crackin'!

Vladimir Tod, why?
Human and vampire, yes
To enslave man? No.


If you haven't guessed it's just what I think about Vladimir Tod and him possibly being Pravus. ^^;

Sorry Heather but this is the best I can do right now...I have so much work with school and all the after school clubs...

Is there any way we can get some cards without winning?

Dear Auntie Heather,

Petite package of
Care, worry, love, hope, and strength
Thou be Aunt Nelly

By the way the project that I did on your books got me a 105% and an A+ on my report card. Thank you so much and have a fangtastic day.

It's Vlad's view on feeding from
"the source" in other words, us...

I hope I'm not to late but here it is:

Vikas, a friend.
A teacher, stubborn 'till end.
But watch, Vlad. Revenge.

I'm also so disappointed, no one ever notices Vikas, I think he deserves a small haiku!

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
