WE WON, MINIONS!!

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Forgive the blog silence, Minions, but Auntie Heather has been travelling lately (in fact, I got back from LA Times Festival of Books on Sunday afternoon and I’m typing this while sitting at the airport in Saint Louis, on my way to the Romantic Times Convention in Columbus, OH until May 2nd), not to mention dealing with monster edits on TWELFTH GRADE KILLS (yes…AGAIN. Like the fifth round of edits. But only the best for my Minion Horde!). But I write to you now with excellent news. News I have had to keep secret for quite some time.

WE WON! We won an award that I have been hoping so badly that we would win, Minions! EIGHTH GRADE BITES is the 2010 Truman Readers Award winner here in Missouri! YAY, US!!!

The best part of this award is that you Missouri Minions chose the winner. Which means you really like me (& Vlad, of course), and I am humbled beyond belief. Thank you!

And if you’re not in Missouri, thank you too! Because without you, I’d just be plain ol’ Heather. But with you, I’m Auntie Heather, Supreme Ruler of the Minion Horde!

By the way…if you want constant updates on me and what I’m up to, follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/heatherbrewer. Even if you don’t have a twitter account (which are free and easy to get), you can still read my updates.

A new contest is coming soon, so watch the Win Things page….can you say HOODIES???



Minions, Prepare Thyself for News of Epic Proportions!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

This is big, Minion Horde. This is awesomely, epicly good.

I’m sure by now you all know about the soon-to-be-released amazingness that is Iron Man 2. But what you don’t know is that something very cool is linking US (your Auntie Heather & you, my loyal Minions) to that movie!

At select theaters, before the movie is shown, a 15-second ad will be shown for THE CHRONICLES OF VLADIMIR TOD!!! The ad will be shown twice before the movie, and will also be shown on TVs in the lobby. HOW COOL IS THAT???

I’m dragging my family to the nearest theater to see it. You Minions totally have to go see it too! Grab your fellow Minions and take a road trip, because you can ONLY see it in theaters! Iron Man 2 comes out on May 7, 2010. The ad will run for 4 weeks. And here’s where it’ll be:

Attack of the Killer Sponge Monster!!!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

spongemonster
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Auntie Heather’s being attacked by a…a…wait. What the heck IS that thing?!

No idea, but it was in Key West. Which is where Auntie has been for a week. Celebrating 15 years of being with Unca Paul. Palm trees, sunset sails, fun people, and beatiful scenery – Key West was amazing. But I haven’t just been lost down in the Keys, my Minions. I’ve also been lost in the final edits for TWELFTH GRADE KILLS. They’re due on April 23rd, but will be turned in a bit before that, as I have travel coming up. (Watch my Appearances page for a few updates) Until then…my head is in these pages.

Oh, and I’m kinda sick. Did I mention that? Bleh…

By the way, I have something awesome to share with you! But not yet. Stay tuned!
