Ugh. Okay, I know it seems like lately, all I’ve been posting are celebratory ego-fests about me, me, me, and Vlad, Vlad, Vlad. But it’s not like I could really help it, what with all the excellent news flooding my inbox these days. And it’s not like this is really an apology post, since I really don’t feel bad about celebrating my successes. But I am sorry that I haven’t given you Minions a little more substance when you’ve been so, so good to me (and so incredibly patient on all fronts). So…let me catch you up on my day to day.
I’ve been working my butt off to revise the first 50 pages of DEVON’S PLAYGROUND in kick butt, first person POV. My desktop computer just up and died (which they tend to do after NINE FRIGGIN YEARS of use), but the plus is, I’m back to working on my pertyful desk, which I sorely missed. And I’m happily drowning in a sea of FanMail (which we simply must rename, for our purposes here, MinionMail). To answer some of the more popular questions: 1. Yes, there will be another Vlad book…in fact, thre will be several. The next is NINTH GRADE SLAYS and it’ll be out next August (2008). 2. I really have no idea whether or not a movie will ever be made of EIGHTH GRADE BITES, but we can always hope! And sorry, but if that does happen, I have zero say (I assume) about who gets to play Vlad. 3. No, Vlad can’t marry you. He’s only 13. But yes, he loves you too. 4. I love fan art! (Minion Art?) You should always, always send it to me! If I get enough, I’ll dedicate a page on my site to it. (And thank you!) 5. You’re welcome (in reply to the many, many “thank you for writing this” emails)–thank you for being so unbelievably rad…and for reading it, for spreading the word, for making my dreams come true. Minions rock!
Oh! And Vlad and Lexie’s blog was featured on PW Children’s Bookshelf the other day! What an honor, I tell ya. And, a reminder here, if you aren’t reading about Vlad and Lexie…you really should.
So that’s me: healthy, happy, and working my fingers down to little, bloody stubs. How are all my Minions doing? Catch me up!

Congratulations on everything, Heather! You rawk! :*) As for catch-up, I haven’t been able to rewrite the 1st novel in my urban fantasy series due to the fact that interest has been garnered in a movie script I wrote years ago. I’m almost done with a rewrite for the movie script. A major producer is already considering whether or not to shop it around. I hope I get it sold, so that I can stay home all day and write books because that’s what I really love. Don’t get me wrong, I like writing movies too, writing anything really, but my first love is writing books! I’ll keep you posted!:*)
Congrats on all the wonderful news! You totally deserve it (as does Vlad)! In regaurds to the catching up thing, I’m still working on my rewrite I told you about. It’s coming along pretty ok now that I’ve had time to sit down and work on it again. =)
Is your book available only in the USA or in Europe too?
Aw man he won’t marry me? JK. I do love Vlad to death though. I just have to color that pic and I’ll e-mail you that minion art of Vlad! Hope to hear more from you soon!
Many sympathies for the loss of your desktop. My laptop officially died yesterday. Actually it died last week, but the repairer (who couldn’t repair it) declared it officially dead yesterday…
Enough about me. May good news keep flooding your inbox, and have a lovely day!
And the good news just keeps piling up. Congrats of course on all of it.
Congrats to Demon Hunter as well. That is awesome news.
This is absolutely one of my favorite blogs. So many great people, so much good news about Heather.
