Forum Who's Heather Read It Get the News Win Things Minion Bling FAQs

Greetings, Minions!

No real news to share, but I wanted to touch base with you all, as things have been really quiet around here. Thanks for all the emails! It's sweet of you to worry about my upcoming surgery, but it's pretty routine, so I'm not worried at all. You shouldn't be either. But keep in mind that the blog and my participation on the forum will likely be very minimal over the next couple of weeks.

Writing goes well! After a brief discussion on the forums, I've decided to include an extra chapter in ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS, so that you can all see exactly what happened when Vlad and Henry were eight years old. :) All the tweaks I'm making to the manuscript now are going smoothly and before you know it, it'll be an actual book. But let's first focus on TENTH GRADE BLEEDS, which is seriously kick butt. It has something for everyone and I think you'll love it. Only five more months until it hits stores!

Now, for those Minions who seem to be having a difficult time finding my books...you can always ask a bookseller to order the book for you. Booksellers are cool like that.

I'm off to finish packing for my hospital stay, but I'll try to drop you all a line on Friday when I get home. Love you, Minions!

Yours in Eternity,
Auntie Heather

its so exciting to know that the next book is just five months away, so long yet so little time! The hospital is scary place (even scarier than haunted houses) i hope you feel much better after the surgery. the bookseller at the borders i often go to doesn't stay the same for very long, they change almost every other week, it's sad because there was a bookseller who was a really cool guy (he used to work in the cafe at the borders and eventually got promoted to manager but didn't stay there very long.)

...wow, i ramble too much, hope you get better, because you are an awesome person!

another minion,

Alright, I just want to post this comment here: There might be 2 usernames that might look very much alike. They are the same person because since I forgot my original username [Christine (a.k.a. Vlad Fan #1)] ( I have Short-Term Memory Loss for some stuff), so I remembered it as best I could. Thanks.

Blood. Fangs. Vladimir Tod.

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
