Oh, Minions. Minions, Minions, Minions. We have so much to talk about! And so little time to talk and jabber and SQUEE about it all!
First, let me catch you up on the craziness that is my life. I just handed in TWELFTH GRADE KILLS. My editor (new editor, actually) is reading and loving it. AND…I just saw the cover for 12th! So, I’m all happyhappyjoyjoy about that right now. As I type this, I’m sitting here with purple goop in my hair. (After all…re-purplizing is important to the awesomeness that is my hair.) I have a list of fourteen different tasks to take care of today, and tomorrow, I jump on a plane to Michigan, to ready the last minute details of the Snow Ball!!!
Now, if you ARE going to the Snow Ball: bring your fangs, get pumped, and feel free to bring along books for me to autograph. Books will be available for purchase. HOWEVER, ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS will NOT be available to buy that night. You’ll get your copy that’s part of your ticket purchase, but the book isn’t officially being released until February 9th, so it’s a big deal that any early copies are getting out at all. BUT! EIGHTH GRADE BITES, NINTH GRADE SLAYS, and TENTH GRADE BLEEDS will be available for purchase, so bring your cash too, if you’d like to buy copies there. Also…leave a little extra room in your suitcase if you’re flying in from out of state, as there will be many FANGtastic prizes. And if you haven’t done so yet, please read my last blog entry and don’t forget to bring along your signed release form!
If you are NOT going to the Snow Ball: I sincerely hope that I will see you somewhere on my tour (click the Appearances link at the top of the page to see if I’m coming near you!). Please call ahead and ask the stores if it’s okay to bring books from home, but even if they say it is, please pick up a copy from the store itself, as they’re nice enough to bring me out to see all of you – it’s a cool way to say ‘thank you’. Feel free to dress in vampire finery, to don your Vlad smiley proudly, and bring all of your friends!
If you will NOT see me while I’m on tour: Hold a Vlad party! Get friends together, raid the nearest bookstore, snatch up copies of ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS and have a read-in (like a lock-in, but with reading). Make vampire cupcakes, take pics in the cemetery, do something cool…and then tell Auntie Heather all about it. 
And if you plan on going to Books & Books in Coral Gables, FL to see me…you’ll want to check this out.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited and nervous and anxious in my life, Minions. I’ve packed/unpacked/repacked three times each, and I’m still not ready. But I am excited that I’ll have the opportunity to see so many of my Minions. I feel like we should have a secret handshake or something!!!
But then…in a way…we do. I can always recognize members of the Minion Horde, and – thanks to the purple hair and plans for world domination – I think you can always recognize me. So…if you see me wandering around any of the towns on my tour, looking a little lost, feel free to stop me and say hi. Because Auntie Heather loves you, Minions!
I fly out on Monday to begin my tour. And I plan to blog about it. With pics. So….see you soon, Minion Horde!

Hi Auntie!!
Omigod, my friends and I are totally gonna raid Barnes & Noble on Tues…I can’t wait!!
When does the next book come out? Waiting 6 months isn’t fun.
yo im new here but big fan of vlad i’ll follow you any where auntie Heather
REALLY IMPORTANT!!! anyone please tell me the address of the snowball!! please i need to know!!!!!
I would hold a Vlad Party but all my friends aren’t as dark and into vampires (by “into”, I mean obsessedn with) as I am. There’s only my little cousin Rachell who i recomended the books to(she loves them) and she doesn’t do anything without her twin sis, Kristen who is totally kool but doesn’t enjoy vampire novels. I don’t think she would enjoy taking pics in a cemetary and reading the 4th book of a series she never read. -shrugs-
Hope you had the best offical first day of tour!

Without remorse I can say that this is at the top of my favourite internet site list.
