Happy Launch Day!

Okay, I know what you're here for, and I'll get to the winner of the zip-up Vlad hoodie and advanced copy of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS in just a moment. But first...

HAPPY BOOK LAUNCH DAY, NINTH GRADE SLAYS PAPERBACK!!! That's right, today NGS hits the stores as a sleek paperback. In fact, I was at Books-A-Million last night and there it was, live and in person. So, if you didn't pre-order NGS, you might want to get your butt to the store now and grab your copy. If you did pre-order it, you should have it soon (if you don't already - sometimes Amazon ships early)!

Now let me explain how I chose the winner of the hoodie and TGB. See, there were almost 300 entries, and though I am deeply humbled by the wonderful things you all said (seriously, Auntie Heather is blushing and Auntie Heather NEVER blushes), I wanted it to be completely fair, so comments did not come into play in choosing the winner. I consulted my good friend, Random Number Generator, and had RNG choose one Minion from Bleeding Ink and one Minion from MySpace, then I flipped a coin to choose between them. So it really is totally random that this person won.

I'd also like to ask you all to keep a sharp eye on my website and MySpace, because I do have more hoodies and I am totally gonna give them all away. Now...let's all be good sports and a supportive Horde and congratulate the winner of the zip-up Vlad hoodie and ARC of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS...Vlad Valentine!!! Vlad, please drop me an email with your mailing address and I shall bestow prize-y goodness on you. Congrats!!!

Now...if you're just itching for a copy of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS, stay tuned. Because Auntie Heather is in a giving sort of mood...

Fangs for entering, Minions! :)=

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
