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…

** You know, I am dying for a copy of Eleventh Grade Burns……
**
Happy Merry Kwanzakahmas! (And holidays)
Hope you have a good Christmas! And a great new years, hope you start out you year as fangtastic as possible!
Auntie…I must ask…Do you own a dog? Or, more of, have you ever owned a dog…one that, eventually passed away? Did you grieve over it?…
….If so, how did you live with yourself, without your beloved pup right by your side?
…
Your books are cheering me up, you know. My dog’s being put down sometime this week, and Vlad certainly brings some life and happiness within me (Wow, didn’t that sound deep?).
Congrats on BLOODBOUND. I’ll make sure to pick up a copy, once it’s published
.
Done with Twelfth Grade Kills already? Can’t wait.
You have MORE copies of Eleventh Grade Burns?…
*salivates*
If no one is in desperate need for it, I’m open XD.
Happy Holidays, Auntie.

i can wait two more months for the book. i just want to know what happens next in it,well that and that i like the book series a lot because i’m now learning how to write in elysian code( even though i still need work on remembering the letters they reprisent). happy holidays auntie heather and may your nightmares come true.
Amanda – Oh yes. Auntie has lost many a pet. This is why Auntie no longer gets pets. It’s just too painful to lose someone you love. Extra special hugs for you, Minion. You’ll get through this…
I can’t wait for the 3rd book. It is really killing me. I’ve already marked my calender and I’m dreading every moment I don’t have the book. I’m crying
I just can’t wait any longer. Love Vlad and can’t wait for more Snow. Also love the name Snow. 
My comment poof’d õ_ô Hahaa, ah well.
Happy Holidays to you too, Auntie!
Whoo! Fabulous news
(And oooh, September release for TGK? I know what I’ll be asking for for my birthday xD)
With the Vlad series ending, at least Bloodbound sounds like it’s gonna be super duper amazing! I can’t wait to read it!
That anthology sound pretty awesome, as well
<3 <3 <3

YAY!!! Congrats, Auntie Heather!! I cant wait till EGB comes out… and TGK, for that matter.

YOU ARE KILLING ME WITH THIS NEW BOOK COMING OUT IN TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I’ve been re-reading some of the other books from your popular vampire series. And I will love you unconditionally in my heart if you give me an advanced copy for me and my friends to share (of course they’re gonna read it after I get done) and how about I have someone drive me all the way to your house just so I can give you a high five. Think of the awesomeness behind the high five! Even if you don’t I’m gonna wait in my cave until your new book comes out.
PS: And just for eleventh grade burns I put purple Christmas lights on my tree.
umm, sounds legit if you ask me. Im glad this is coming out. ummmmm, so hows it going? Im doing badly but thats another story. I just want to say but not want to say you are awesome, i just dont wanna sound like another fan. I enjoy these books not only for the vampire parts but for the character insight on vladimir, id just like to say that these books have helped me in a way which i cant even describe. Oh and merry christmas. And umm your cool
