Merry Hanukkahchristmaskwanzaasolsticewhatever! Whatever it is that you celebrate (or don’t), happy day to you!
Auntie Heather’s been very busy lately, but in a good way. The tree is up (it’s the Great Tree of Goth Awesomeness), the lights are on the house, the charities have been charitied to, the music is playing, and the presents are (for the most part) wrapped. And Auntie Heather is sitting by the fireplace, staring up into the darkness, awaiting a fat guy in a red coat to come tumbling down…preferably with chocolate for her stocking.
Aside from the usual holiday business, I’ve also been busy with writing. I finished TWELFTH GRADE KILLS (I’ll pause while you all celebrate), and you can watch for that in September 2010. I finished copyedits for an anthology short story that’s also coming out in September 2010. The story is a creepy lil number I call SHADOW CHILDREN and the anthology will be called FEAR: 13 STORIES OF SUSPENSE AND HORROR. What’s important about this antho is that International Thriller Writers (ITW) is teaming up with RIF (Reading is Fundemental), to raise money for their totally amazing cause. So…buy a copy. Heck, buy six!!
So now that I have a moment, while waiting on my editorial letter for TWELFTH, I’m working on BLOODBOUND.
And it is AWESOME! Such different writing than Vlad, so rich with description, and a lot of fun to write. I adore Kaya (the main character), as well as Maddox, Trayton, and yes, even Darius. (It’ll be so funny when you’ve all read the book and can go back and say, “Really, Auntie? Even Darius? Are you sure?”) So…I’m keeping busy and enjoying myself.
But I’m also thinking it’s time I rent some office space, as Auntie is tired of writing from the place between her dining room and living room. It’s like some kind of weird void, where distractions abound. I need my space. it’s not you, void, it’s me. Maybe we should see other people.
Also, are there any reviewers that haven’t received ARCs of ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS just yet? Because I still have a few…


can u help me?

Sometimes peace and quiet is best for the imagintion to expand it’s vastness into space. n_n

I would do ANYTHING for 11th grade, like shave my head (& I have REALLY long hair) even tho I’m in 9th. I started reading TCoVT when I was in 7th & he was in 8th, then 8th to 9th then 9th to 10th & finally, STILL 9th to 11th??!!! what did he do, skip a year of skool??? it’s weird but still I <3 Vlad & u Auntie!
I love u all!!!
ttly awesome auntie heather!!! and (this shocks even me) i have not received an arch of ELEVENTH
=. Good job on TWELFTH GRADE KILLS!!! still cant wait to c who dies!! not that i truly want anyone to die…sadly i would probably feel a little twinge in my heart if D’Ablo died…but thats only because hes been through alot with vlad (including him trying to kill him/being a stalker/ hating him/ well…do i really need to go on?). Anyway, luv u and ur books and cant wait to read BLOOD BOUND! Happy holidays auntie heather!

I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
