Greetings, my Minions! And how are we all this cold, dark, bleak winter? Are you all revelling in the dark half of the year? Auntie is, for sure. Life has been keeping me very busy, but I just had to stop in and say hi to my Minions, plus share some happiness.
For one, I have a cat now! A sweet black kitty named (ha!) Amenti (of course). She’s feisty and can ooze sarcasm with but a glance. I love her! Plus, she keeps me company during the day while I write, which rocks my socks.
For two, I am all geared up for the Snow Ball, baby! It’s going to be MEGA AWESOME, which is like awesome, only to the Nth degree. Plus! I’m going to be touring all over the country right after that! So if you can’t hang with me at the Snow Ball, hopefully, you can hang with me at one of my events during the tour. Please call the stores and ask if they have anything special planned. I heard that there will be an anti-Vlaentines Day party and an in-store Snow Ball, so call and ask! I’ve updated my Appearances page with addresses and times, for all you Minions who keep asking when and where.
We are just WEEKS away from the release of ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS, Minions. Are you geeked out of your minds?! I totally am. I can’t wait to discuss deets of this book with you guys – it’s been sooooooo hard to keep my own secrets! But soon, all shall be revealed.
My days have been filled with writing (and petting Amenti) – what about you guys? Anything exciting going on? Catch me up!
Yours in Eternity,
Auntie Heather


My friend has been doing a lot of research on vampires lately and he found something about getting rid of stalking vampires. If a vampire is following you all you need to do is run backwards up a hill while holding a turtle and a lit candle. Maybe Vlad should try that to get D’Ablo off his back?
i like that, he really should! It would be funny, if that were me i would totally fall on my butt, though.I have no skills like that so yeah!
Your awesome Auntie heather. idk what else to say really. lol
omggggggg i can’t wait for Eleventh grade burns ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I’m jumping up and down and chasing cars right now!
YAY cats are great =,]
I am so excited for eleventh grade burns to come out im saveing up my money so i can buy it, and thats so cool that you got a little kitty i have one of my own named Oliver II
YAY CATS (Oh btw this is not hayleywilliam chase, this is other guy chase)
OMG! I can’t wait for Eleventh Grade Burns!!!! I’ve been counting down the days!
Super happy to hear you have joined the hordes of the cat owners in this world!
Luv ya Auntie Heather, can’t wait to read about Vlad’s next adventure!
I cannot wait either! I started the series three weeks ago because my cousin recomended it. (pardon my spelling errors)I didnt think i would like it, but i mustve not been thinking because Vlad is awsome!
That’s awesome that you got a cat! Will you ever be coming to Canada?
i’ve never been to Canada, even though i’m really really close to it.
yeah! cats rock!!!
What did you name your cat?
Awe cutie kitty! First time to comment, so all I gotta say is ur books rock, and majorally inspire me when I have writers block!(That is which most heinous of enemies!)
OMI, that rhymed! Also, it’s good that someone out there can write books that sound like vampires, and not a dream. Not pointing fingers… hehe
Any who, I love ur books, and can’t w8 for the 11th grade! Wahoo!
Cool. Are you writing a book PMSingWolfChick?
My knees are all jacked up, Auntie. That’s what;s new with me. (and the fact that I have a new horsie!) Cats tend to be able to shoot sarcasm with their eyes, especially females! My cat does it for sure! I can’t wait to see what you’ve made Vlad do in 11th grade… He probably escaped death a few times…
I cannot Beleive it! I actually got sick the day I auditioned for the school play.
I got a cold and i was all stuffed up when i said my lines, now im definetly nnot getting as good of a roll as i hoped. the cast list goes up on Wednesday, the 13th. I am so anxious i can barely keep still in my seat. I hope i get some sort of speaking role. GRRRRRRR
i went ice skating btw in Dec. 19. I meet lots of zombies on ice w/ my elder sister.
omg my grammerrrr srry

I went ice skating btw ON Dec 19. 2009 I MET
we all make mistakes the muffin man. me all the time
omg cant wait till eleventh grade burns!!!!!!!!!
omg can not wait till eleventh grade burns!when i read your first book i was hooked automatically.you are so awesome!i have a cat too!her name is tiger lily and she is black with an orange streak going down her back,and she lets me paint her nails orange and black.omg halloween colors!!lol.well anyway just wanted to say that i loooooove you and your writing!you rock!!
Cannot wait. Your books inspire me. Loves :3
hey you know you should have a character in 12th grade kills named Tegan
its a reaaally interesting name and quite unusual. I think it would fit in well with names like Vlad, Meredith, Joss, Otis, D’Ablo….etc.
love the books Auntie Heather!!! keep writing!!!!
Well, I think that this is completely awesome, and my friend and I absolutely LOVE Vlad. I think that the Snow ball is a great idea, but unfortunately I live nowhere close. And YAY you are coming to Oregon too!!
I used to have a cat, but my dad wrecked it with the theory that if one spray of flee meds was good, the whole bottle was better. I want to get a new one, but Mom’s afraid that she’ll get stuck with it when I go to college. I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay i love cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cant wait for Eleventh grade burns
Having a cat while you write is a very, very cool thing. We’ve actually got three, and I know our mood can change depending on which furball is joining us at a given time.
Ingrid King, author of the blog, The Conscious Cats, just did a guest blog for my wife on this very topic. (http://www.mindbodyspiritworks.com/)
Grats on Amenti and your continued success. Looking forward to hearing how the tour goes!
nK
SO EXCITED 4 ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so ready 4 the next book. i just can’t wait any longer. I really want to know wat is happening with Vlad and Snow. EeEEEeeeeEEEEEKkkKKkkKKKKKK Omg
i can’ beleive i said that But… but…but i am so right. One can wait much longer. me and my friend even have our money ready WE CAN’T WAIT
I really don’t like cats all that much, but i can’t wait for Eleventh Grade Burns! I’m rereading all of the previous Vlad books to prepare myself for its release.
Hey Auntie nice to hear from you again! Im doing good thanks for asking. Well except for the whole school issue. I have my exhibition coming up in a few weeks, a book report (which Im doing on Tenth Grade Bleeds), two physics papers, and a college research essay. Im not liking school very much but Eleventh Grade Bleeds coming out is getting me through it! I can’t wait for it to come out! Im getting it the first day its out! You’re awesome, please never stop writing! Or we will all come after you,(your minions that is).
P.S. Have fun with Amenti.
OMG i LOVE the vlad tod series!!! i saw it in a books a million, and it just, like, spoke 2 me!!!and it IS so much better 2 read an ACTUAL vampure book!!!(twilight, were all glaring bloody murder at u… hehe) o and im an aspiring author, and ur blog about publishing really helped!!! so thanks!!! btw, ur probably 1 of the few authors who actually take the time to interact with their readers by actually acknowledging them, and sometimes sending them bling, so i just want to thank u 4 ur generosity. so thanks, auntie heather!!!
Gah Auntie heather i has a problem i wanna go to the snow ball but i live in new york and my parents don’t wanna spend the money what do i do
-Your favorite minion
ok well im at skool right now so i dont hav much time but i live in the state of IL and it is very icy up here (im about 2hours from chicago) anyway a new kid, Alex just moved in across the street and it’s very icey and he plus me and everyone else slipped and fell on ice this morning and my jeans r still wet!!!!
im also freakin out cuz ive got finals bye
holy crepe!!!!!! I need to start saving its soo close!!!!! i can’t wait!!!!!!! i need to know if vlad ends up with meredith or snow
Dear, Auntie. Sup? I just now finished the third book of the Vladimir Tod Series. It is AWESOME! (twilight blows compared to this and everything else). I kinda feel sorry for Snow. I know that Vlad will end up with Meredith so could you please make Snow end up with me? XD
P.S: When I read the first book we had just gotten a cat and could NOT figure out a name. We ended up naming it Amenti!
okay i am so stoked for when you come to miami i live on the west coast but im gonna go and it shall be wicked awesome!
That is so cool that you got a cat. I have a kitten named Cooper who’s black and white.We also have another kitten who’s completely black and we named he Amenti! I also can’t wait until eleventh grade burns comes out!!!! My friend Sarah and I wanted to go sooooo bad but we didn’t have the money and we live in New York
At least we’ll get the book when it comes out in stores!
Hehe you should try to tell your visitors and say Amenti is bad luck from being a black cat and let them know to not let her walk past her
LOL it’s worth a shot, right?! My former cat Spike was a black cat too and people were REALLY supersticious about him.
Heather I love ur books, you are a very talented writer and I cant wait until “Eleventh Grade Burns”. It would be really aswem if u could have a snow ball for all your minions near Nebraska!!!
minion in eternity (///)
Not really all that bleak and bleary where I live, in fact it seems like the sun never stops shining. *sigh* I know one place vampires would never visit.
WOOOOOOO!!!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE SNOW BALLL!!!! im sooo excited
