I find it absurdly amusing that Books-a-Million categorizes EIGHTH GRADE BITES under “Juvenile Fiction: Social Issues-Adolescence”. *snort* Uhh…yeah, social issues are the least of Vlad’s concerns….but okay. (Still very cool that it’s listed there!)
So yesterday I wandered the halls of the local junior high. Man…I’m shorter than the sixth-graders! But it was way cool. Something about the slamming of lockers and the river of panicking students rushing to their next class just gave me a smile. Or, you know, maybe I was smiling because I was glad my sentence is over… Still, I can hardly wait to go hang out with the 7th grade reading class in December!
Anyway, when I got home and finished answering MySpace comments (Do I really seem that young?), doing chores (yuck), writing (yay), and eating dinner (nummy), I got an email from my wonderful editor saying that she has my galleys!!! I can hardly wait to see EIGHTH GRADE BITES in print. It’s surreal. I’d pinch myself to see if I was dreaming, but I bruise easily.
Paul might pinch me though. He’s kinda mean like that.


Social issues.
What, are you saying being a vampire *doesn’t* put a damper on your social life?
LOL.
Okay, much like Vlad’s fangs, you have a point. LOL!
Well, congrats. I just read about it on backspace and thought I should trundle over here to say a few words of congratulations.
You made a point of saying something about full vs. half cover and I was wondering what that meant… being the noob that I am.
Congrats Heather. Just another step towards huge success.
Woohoo! Great news, congrats! You must be so proud, and have so many people proud OF you, too!!
Thanks, Minions! It’s a super exciting time right now. Monday, I get my galleys!!!
