Dragon*Con was awesome! I gave away roughly 300 pieces of Minion Bling, hung out with Captain Kirk, got ditched by Jesus and was touch by the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s noodly appendage. Must do it again next year. And must meet more Minions while I’m there.
So, I’m home again now, and I’ve promised you all that I’ll talk a bit more about ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS. So without further ado…
ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS will be released on February 9, 2010. So, all of you Minions itching to go to the Snow Ball just got another reason – the party is on February 6th and the book is part of your ticket price, so in short, come to the Snow Ball, get the book THREE DAYS EARLY. I know, right? Way kewl.
So…what’s ELEVENTH about? For those of you who have not yet read TENTH GRADE BLEEDS, please DO NOT continue reading this blog post. I’m tellin’ ya. There will be kinda sorta spoilers and I don’t want you to miss the surprises of TENTH. Okay? Okay.
Are they gone? Good (for their sake). Now, onto ELEVENTH…
As if Vlad’s life weren’t bad enough….guess who’s back? That’s right: Joss! And this time, Joss is seriously out for blood. The Slayer Society has “cleansed” his thoughts and he’s absolutely convinced that Vlad is a vampire, which means Vlad = evil and must be destroyed.
Not to mention there’s a new vampire in town by the name of Dorian, who thinks that Vlad’s blood sounds like the most tasty treat on earth. And to add to that problem, Dorian can control anyone…even Vlad….with barely a thought.
Then, of course, there are the girls. Snow and Meredith. Vlad will face both in this book, and things don’t turn out the way you might think…
The ending will leave you screaming for more, Minions, and you will never. see it. coming.
You can pre-order it here.
So…any questions?

The book sounds amazing, Auntie Heather and I can’t wait to read it! Unfortunately, I can not attend the Snow Ball but, what goes with the bad must come good, or say they say. I will be reserving the book at Barnes and Nobles, which, most of the time, they give the reserved books out….:drum roll please:…. early! So, I am excited about that. Anyway, I can’t wait to hear more about the books and oh… one more thing! This year, I will be trying with the help of my school librarians to come for an author visit. My school will definitely love you. That’s a wrap!

Oh, goodness! The Flying Spaghetti Monster’s noodly appendage! That must have been quite an experience!
ELEVENTH is sounding INSANELY awesome to me right now! Glad to hear we’ll be seeing more of Joss around town, but Dorian! I think he might give D’Ablo a run for his money in my favorite characters list xD
Surprise endings are always delectable

Urg…it’s times like this I wish I could drive…And I will be too busy with school to learn, especially in time for February. T_T Oh, well, you win some, you lose some.
cool joss is back! i can’t wait tell eleventh hey can you give vald another cool power that can stop dorian and joss but he needs the help of his druges henry and snow to make it work which means he has to drink their blood (but not all of it) hope you like my idea
Woot! Nice plot!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
….If he even TOUCHES my Vlad, I’ll torch him myself.
Hm….Snow and Meredith, huh? Honestly, I was so freaking SHOCKED when I found out that he blurted out he was a vampire to Snow, and drank her blood. That was so…unlike him. *whacks him upside the head with a book and scolds* Bad, Vlad! Bad!
I mean, I kind of understood where he was coming from when he broke up with Meredith….but…Wow….him and Snow *whistles*

sweetness im excited!!!
OMV! OMV! OMV!
joss back?!? I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m gonna die without this book!!!!!!!!!
must. destroy. Joss!!!! god, i hate him. so thickheaded and persistant, but I guess he has a reason for being that way when it comes to vampires.
how old is the new vampire? is meredith going to fall in love with him? is eddie and joss going to team up to expose and/or destroy vlad? how about otis is he going to help vlad or teach him something new and unbelievable!?!
I love Joss and I can’t believe what happened to him. I also can’t believe what Amanda wrote. I don’t have the patience to write that much unless I’m writing my book and/or poems… Oh well! I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ALL MISSED YOU IN WILLI!!!!
Anyway… I’m drawing Joss for the contest so I’m mad at Hero for dissing him! Joss is the slightly troubled and crazed teen I want to become!!!
Yaaaaay! Joss is back! I really hope Snow and Vlad hook up, they’d be ADORABLE!
Now, lemme get this straight.
Joss; noun; uncommon
•A wierdo freak-a-zoid out to kill Vlad, just because what happened to Cecil.
Cecil; noun; dead
•The person who it boiled down to who gave Joss the idea of killing vampires (including Vlad)
Vladmir Tod; actual person, not a noun; unique
•The Pravus who WON’T take over mankind, even though I would be the one waving at him with a palm leaf, and letting him eat grapes of the vine.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! I SOOOOOO WANT IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! oooooooo i want to know wat happens wit Meredith and Snow!!!! UUUUUGH!!!! i hate waiting
Hilary Bowling:::::
when i talk about poems. Tell me one!! Please!!!!!
You write poems too? my friends all look at me really weird (like this)
Joss is like my favorite character!! I’m so glad he’s back (which is kinda sick considering…) but i’m just glad he’s back. i hope they get to be friends again. that would be so coooool! i think i had a dream about him once, but i’m not telling you
VLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSVLADJOSSHENRY!
sounds like you had a way cool time, Auntie!
And OMV, I can’t WAIT for the next book to come out! It sounds sooooo awesome! And one question, where do you come up with the names of your characters? They’re not usually something that most people would expect.
this sounds amazing! i can’t wait til it comes out!
Dude DX I just finished “Tenth Grade Bleeds” like right now and I come to read this and I’m like:
Dang! For reals? Joss?? *sigh* and yet you throw in more suspence for me
Dude DX I just finished “Tenth Grade Bleeds” like right now and I come to read this and I’m like:
Dang! For reals? Joss?? *rips out hair* and yet you throw in more suspence for me
but no worries Auntie Heather! I shall respect your ultimate awesome-ness!!
Btw, this is one of the best series’ I’ve read EVER! I saw your first book at Barnes&Noble and tried my luck with it, and low and behold, here I am two days after reading EGB & NGS (just finished TGB), a fellow minion among others
