I love happy news! The UK/AUS sale of The Chronicles of Vladimnir Tod is official! Check out this fangtastic press release!
I couldn’t be more pleased about this, Minions. I’ve been waiting a LONG, LONG time for foreign sales, and it may have taken me until I reached the end of the series, but it’s totally been worth the wait. And the folks at Penguin UK/AUS hve been so friendly and amazing already. I’m sure we’ll be very happy together. 
Almost as happy as I am with my wonderful husband, who somehow managed to pull off the miracle of all miracles. If you’ve heard me speak at events, you’ll know just how much this gift means to me.
That’s right! It’s a first edition copy of Carrie by Stephen King. And EVEN BETTER, it’s signed! And EVEN BETTER THAN THAT…it’s signed TO ME, by the man himself!!!
It says “For Heather – With best wishes and admiration for all your hard work. Oh! And with love from Paul, and my niece, Kathy – Stephen King 3/25/10 P.S. I didn’t have a trust fund either ”
I cried when Paul gave it to me. I cried when I read Stephen’s inscription. I cried again today when I saw it on my table. It just means so much to me. This was the book, and the author, that showed me what my dreams were, that made me see what I wanted to be when I grew up. Stephen King changed my life forever, and I’m eternally grateful. And then yesterday, when Paul gave me that book, Stephen King changed my life again. My husband is the greatest husband alive, and I owe him my life for being so good to me, and getting it – really getting it. (Love you, Paul!)
And none of this would have been possible without Stephen’s niece Kathy and my ever-helpful agent, Michael Bourret. You people ROCK!!!
It’s an intriguing irony that the book that kick started my dreams is about a wildly unpopular girl in high school…

Hi, this is my first comment, but I’ve read the series and completely fallen in love. Here a little skit of what I said to my friend:
Me: You fall in love with Edward, I fall in love with Vladimir Tod
Friend:
thats soooo sweeet and your husband is the greastest to you auntie! hope it goes bigger in success!
That is so sweet, Auntie. Uncle Paul is definitely fangtastic.
WOOT GO AUNTIE HEATHER!!!! Really awesome your books are going ever farther then the United States. Be proud this doesn’t happen every blood sucking day.

yours truly,
Takeshi Raiden
OMG
I also wanted to cry when I met you in person
Because it was the greatest moment of my life.
You are the person who inspired me to become a writer in the first place.
Without you, I would be playing video games and watching anime non-stop.
Well, with you, I’m able to sit infront of my computer FOR HOURS not being able to stop writing “Black Hearts & Green Streamers”
(Which BTW, might ACTUALLY get published, thanks to my wonderful language arts teacher, Ms Adamo. She told me if I get it published, then she better be in the “thank yous” or agnologments, because if she isn’t, she will haunt me in my sleep and hunt me around school… *shiver*)
But really~!
That’s how you feel when you get to meet the person that made you who you are today. Well, besides you family and friends, meeting your idol/ role model is the greatest thing a person can experience.
Well, I want to thank you
And congrats!
Love:
Elysia Esperanza

You totally deserved it, Auntie! I love that last part with the trust fund.
It’s amazing when you get the books that made you want to write signed by the authors who made you want to write. I thank Stephen King for writing this book because without it, you may never have decided you wanted to be an author and I may have never made that decision.
Nobody deserves that more than you!
God save the King(Stephen King. No pun intended) and Queen(Auntie) of writing!
That’s AMAZING!!! WOW!!!
Soooooo coool! Im so exited that Stephan King wrote that for you!! 
OMV!!

OMG!!! I LOVE UR BOOKS AND RIGHT NOW IM ON TENTH GRADE BLEEDS AND ITS AWSOME!!! I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN! ( I EVEN GOT IN TROUBLE IN CLASS FOR READING IN READING CLASS!!) AND I AM VERY UPSET THE JOSS TRIED TO KILL VLAD THEY WERE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS!! BUT WAT REALLY BURNED MY TOASTE WAS THAT HE WAS WORKING WITH A VAMP TO KILL A VAMP BUT MIND CONTROLE IS A…NEVERMIND ANYWAY AUNTIE THESE BOOKS ARE AWSOME!! (OTIS CREEPED ME OUT IN THE FIRST BOOK AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST SOME STALKER VAMP TEACHER TURNS OUT ITS HIS UNCLE WHEN I FOUND THAT OUT I WAS SO HAPPY!!) ANYHOO UR DOING A GREAT JOB AUNTIE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
i just finished eleventh grade burns yesterday. i don’t like the way that it is ended. i can not believ that joss killed dorin at the end when dorin was going to tell vlad what was in the prophecy. i am upset that vlad released snow from being a drudge. i am also upset because vlad would not go out with vlad because he is still in love with meredith. he will not go out snow because he does not want to hurt her feeling. i am extremely upset about the last page in the book because of the whole think with vlad and joss and someone telling vlad to put joss dpwn and vlad does and then he turns around and sees his dad standing there. i do not believe that it is really his dad because heather did not explain if it is really tomas or not, she just stop it right there.
Omg! That is so amazing! I would have cried too! That name sounded familiar, but I still had to ask my Mom. Apparently, we own like 25 of his books! And I had no clue!
You do have an amazing husband, I’m so happy that you have someone that cares about you and loves you.
P.S. I’m a new minion, I just started the series and I wanted to know what else you wrote. I love you so much Auntie Heather, and I’m proud to be a minion!
P.P.S. I’m not into the “vampire craze” but this is a series I love, and forever will! Keep writing!
DOWN WITH TWIIGHT!
