It’s COLD today. Like -16 with the wind chill factor. Brrrr! So you can bet that Auntie Heather will be snuggling up under her evil Hello Kitty blankie today and wearing some of her fuzzy groovy neato socks to stay warm. And of course, repeatedly grumbling about how cold it is. Brr and Grr, Minions. Brr and Grr.
In other news, I’m amazed at how many situations you Minions suggested in the last blog comments (both on Bleeding Ink and MySpace) that were right on track. I won’t say which or how many, but a few were dead-on accurate as things that will come along in this series…which makes me wonder if my Minions are staring over my shoulder as I write. It also makes me feel like maybe I really do understand what my readers want, so that’s pretty cool.
And dude! Less than a week until the paperback of NINTH GRADE SLAYS debuts! In honor of that…
I have a secret. Come closer. No, closer. Okay, guess what? I have a new hoodie. Actually, I have a few. They’re zip-up hoodies. Black. On the front, left side in red is Vlad’s Mark. On the back is the vampire smiley, surrounded by “Proud Member of the Minion Horde”, all in red. My camera is broken, or I’d show you a pic. But trust me…it’s awesome. What’s that? You want one? Okay! I’ll even give you an advanced copy of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS! But you’ve gotta leave a comment to enter, okay? I’ll randomly pick the winner on January 22nd.
And no…you can’t buy one of these either.
