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???

“i am so goth people ask me to sign there box of Count Chocola”)!!
Sweet! that’s soo cool Auntie Heather!
does anyone know how to activate a forum account. I can’t figure it out.
I wuvz you, Auntie Heather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
=]
I’m just glad that theres a book out there that I like. I’ve never read a whole book before end now i’ve read 2 and I’m goin for a third!!!!
so like i’m proud that theres something out there that not only me can enjoy!!!
Finally i found a book that is interesting… i can finally relate to it!!!!
If there is a movie of Vladimir tod… I will always be angry about it. because they will probably always have a character that doesn’t live up to Vlad’s reputation and then the movie will always snip something out of the book and the movie will always be second best to the book. I think I should direct the movie so that I am depended on to put all of the book into the reel. Planning of doin it in high school… got into a film class. Whoo hoo! Heather, are you really sure the date for the book cant be released earlier?
I voted for it.
that is soooooooooooooo wicked, auntie heather!!!!!!!
CONGRATS!!!
