Things That Auntie Heather Has Witnessed in Texas So Far

1. The pilot was the spitting image of that "Dude! You gotta get a Dell!" guy.
2. I saw a roadblock. Like an actual, cop cars blocking the road with lights on roadblock.
3. A church had a neon sign which read "REPENT!"
4. Y'know those signs on the highway that usually tell you when construction will be going on? I saw one that read "Needs New Batteries".

And so my TX adventure begins...

By the by, if you're in the area, come see me tonight.

i get 'full-moon happy' too! Yeah for full moons! * dances with minion racheal k.*

Never been to Texas before sounds interesting Auntie Heather!....Though I once saw a sign for Halloween that said 'If you are tall than the sign go left if you are shorter go right.' If you went left you go raisins and if you went right you got candy, an interesting way to get older kids who go just for free candy out of Halloween...

needs new batteries... that's kind of like the sign i saw at target. on a door it said no exit, then below it, it said exit only. they need to make uo their mind!

though i don't get the reasoning for the neon sign, i think i'll start yelling REPENT! at people.
along with KIBA!

I just remembered! this is like what happens to me all the time! when you talk to different people or go somewhere new you tend to hear/see different things...note: I did not say these things, people i know did: "you're jewish? i thought you were japanese!" "i thought 6 was a letter!" "aren't japanese people black?" "my name is julie, and these are my socks!"

as you can see, there are some.....intersting people at my school...

I've been to Texas once, but that was during the evacuation for Katrina. >_> I never really got to venture around. Also, Auntie, look out for a doog with a long snout and short stubby front legs with taller back legs. It might be a chupacabra. ;) Also, you should come down to Louisiana sometime while your nearby. ^^

xP You know avl!_vlad_lover, hate is a very strong word and I would think about using it.

Hating your brother for being annoying is more than wrong.

my little brother is annoying, but i don't hate him. he's my brother. and it's so annoying when the boys in my class pick on him. i have to tell them to leave him alone. but still, i don't hate him at all.

I went to camp once, and I was the only girl in my cabin without a brother... It was really rather odd.

But I have a sister to do girly things like go shopping and laugh at when she ogles over some guy in a movie, so it's all good.

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
