Okay, Minions, pull up a nice fluffy chair and get cozy. There ya go. Got your favorite pillow? Your blood Slurpee with the cool black bendy straw? Good. Because Auntie Heather feels the need to do a public service announcement here (or, at the very least, an Auntie Heather service announcement).
A few Minions have written now, saying that they can’t find a copy of EIGHTH GRADE BITES at their local bookstore. If you run into this dilemma (or if you just happen to notice a store is not carrying EIGHTH GRADE BITES), please please PLEASE ask a sales associate to order more. Believe it or not, booksellers absolutely listen to their customers for what to put on the shelves. And we want everybody to fall as much in love with Vlad and his crazy life as we have, right? And we want Auntie Heather to be able to keep writing and publishing books about our favorite fanged friend, right? Well, the only way for that to happen is to get books on shelves and into readers’ hands. Sales=me publishing more books about Vlad. No sales=me maybe not finishing the Vlad series *shivers* It’s a sad truth, but there ya have it. And the easiest way for the good stuff to happen is for all of you to band together as the Minion Horde and make it happen.
If you know of anyone who hasn’t read EIGHTH GRADE BITES, please urge them to do so. They can borrow it from the library or a friend, buy it, whatever, but a big goal of our Horde here should be to spread the Vlad love. So far, it’s looking good out there, and I absolutely appreciate each and every one of you for doing what you can to tell others about my series. Fangs a lot, Minions!

Okay, back to hoodies. For the rules, see the past bajillion entries (I’m feeling lazy today). The winner of Day 5′s hoodie is Shawn! And today’s question is this:
Day 6 (Drawing on October 17th): Who is the man in black?

D’Ablo
Well when I can go to Wal-mart I’ll be sure to look for Eighth Grade Bites and if they don’t have it I’ll go talk to someone. I’ll try to cheak the library (and both school libraries) When I can.
Heather, every time I’m in the book store I find all the EGB’s and I turn them face out.
And yay Shawn!! He’s going to be sooo excited when he gets home from school. He’s been planning to go as Vlad for Halloween.
Heehee, Auntie Heather.
= I already have Eighth Grade Bites but it would be so cool if it were in my school’s book fair, which I hope they have again this year. I absolutely LOVE bookfairs! Also my friends could get it if they want.
