Oh, I can't wait to get the book and learn the Elysian Code! Then I can use the Elysian Code at school and see what my friends say to that. xD
The best things about the book that you've listed to me is:
"6. Vlad is tormented by horrific, painful, bloody nightmares all through the book." Yes, bloody, scary nightmares. Right up my ally! :)= Oh, and the fact that the book has a lot of pages.

Auntie Heather I have a quick question. On the web page for the guy who designed the cover he said "Of particular not here is how I managed to bamboozle them into letting me put the author's name on BACK of the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod... That was a good day. A very good day, indeed."


I thought that was a little rude and unprofessional and was just wondering how you felt about it. Do you mind that your name isn't on the front?

I hope I'm not squeezing lemon juice in an old wound!

Blogger Heather Brewer said...

Unprofessional? Not at all! As you know, it's traditional to put the author's name on the front cover. My covers are so visually engaging, though, that the title and my name crammed on the front would have taken away from it entirely. Besides...I'm not a traditional kind of person, so I dig being different. I trust and admire Christian completely. And so far...having my name on the back hasn't been a bad thing at all. ;)

Thanks for replying, but I meant that it was unprofessional for him to kind of brag about bamboozling the people who hired him on his webpage. But I do LOVE the covers and can't wait for July 9th!

Blogger Heather Brewer said...

I think you misunderstood, Anonymous. I believe Christian was merely excited about being able to do something exciting and new, more untraditional. I certainly don't think he was bragging about bamboozling anyone. Believe me, Christian is an incredibly professional, sweet, wonderful, kind, artistic guy.

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
