Salutations, Miion Horde! I am currently writing to you from a place that I have longed to be for a looooong time: HOME! In fact, I’ll be home for the next five weeks, and I’m giddy at the thought of it! Travelling is a lot of fun and hangin’ with my Minions is a BLAST, but sometimes Auntie Heather just wants to be home with her family and her cat and her Camaro (and don’t make me choose which I’ve missed most). I just got back from NYC and the next time I travel it’ll be to San Diego ComicCon (WOOHOO!) in July. For those curious, my dashing son Jacob will be accompanying me there (he’s arranging a Minion Meet-Up on the 22nd – for the deets, check out his Facebook, my Facebook or my Twitter). Also, there’s something of epic preportions brewing for all SDCC-attending Minions, so stay tuned!
So. What has Auntie been up to lately, aside from catching up on sleep? Well, writing, for one. I’m currently writing a short story for a YA vampire anthology (which is kinda turning out like the vampire equivalent of SAW), and working on the first book of THE SLAYER JOURNALS (which desperately needs a title – I decided that SO MUCH AT STAKE just doesn’t fit the feel of the book; that title suggests funny and these books are fairly dark…). The publishing schedule for TSJ and for BLOODBOUND are being wiggled around a bit, so it’s looking maybe like you guys will see TSJ every fall starting in 2011 and BLOODBOUND every spring, starting in 2012. But no promises. Things are always changing in publishing, Regardless, you’ll soon have Auntie Heather storytime yumminess twice a year!
Also, I’m thinking of changing my bangs to blue. What do you think, Minions? You’re opinion means a lot to me…
Ohhhhhhh, and there’s been DRAMA! See Penguin was kind enough to ship me 300 Vlad tote bags to give away to you Minions. Nice, huh? They ROCK! But…someone stole the boxes off my porch. Yeah. Auntie was not happy about that. On a good note, the Camaro wasn’t taken…
There’s also some big super sekrit stuff going on that I can’t really talk about yet. One is a personal thing, but hugely life-changing. The other is TOTALLY Minion-related and you SO WISH YOU KNEW. But…my lips are sealed. For now.
Also, I’m having an epic contest on the Win Stuff/Win Things/WinWinWin page (I can never remember what it’s called). You should totally enter. Just sayin’.

OMG TOTALLY BLUE!!!! That is my FAV color!!!! XD XD
and omg I want a tote!!!!!!! that would be awesome for High School nex year!!!! XD XD on monday afternoon it’ll be oficial I’ll BE A FRESHMEN!!!!! WHOO! but scarey to… but i could so show of how much i LUV vlad by getting a tote and shoving it in ppls faces lol!!! but yea to bad they were stolen

Im gonna say blue because I think blue looks good on you

Whatever color you decide to go with, you’ll still be totally awesome cause your you…Hope it makes sense, haha. Anyways can’t wait to hear more of your adventurous life as a writer and now a traveler, sounds like your having a blast! Oh…and I really, really, really want a tote…please.
Tch. That’s low, stealing things. But at least they didn’t, I don’t know, hold you hostage until you gave out spoilers. That would’ve sucked. (Pfft, pun intended.)
Also, yes, dye your bangs blue. Though not a light blue, that usually turns out pretty crumby. *nods sagely*
That really does suck that somebody stole stuff!!! Btw I’m freaking out I mean how in the Hell are the stupid councel members going to kill Vlad it has just accured to me that that is possible not good poor Vladimir I dont want you to die!!!

If I find out who did I will KILL them! Simple as that! Anywho glad you’re back at our home and get to spend some time with your familiy.
Your Loyal Minion,

i curse the person who stole them!!!
MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
lol im going to an anime conventioin in july. its like a comic con but for anime. blue is awsome but it turns green if u wash it to much and dont use the right dye.Expecialy during the summer when ur in the pool and if u have blond hair.I think it looks icky once it is green.Green would be good for the next vlad book but i dont really like green in hair. im always dyeing mine and blue hasnt really been my fav. i stick with reds for the most part. lol but right now mine is black for my cosplays. eee i love it! lol my mom dosnt though.have fun at comic con!
OMGOMGOMG YAYAYAYAYAY!!! And blue would be awsomly awsome auntie! AND YOU HAVE A CAMARO ANOTHER RESON TO LOVE YOU!!!! and btw (kills person who stole bags) AND I WANNA MEET JAKE!!! *sniffsniff* hes so kul! wah! Anutie, I have a sriously serious sugestion. YOU SHOULD GIVE VLAD A CAMARO!!!!!! Honestly! The poor guys been through so much already! He deserves an awsome kickin car!!!!! (SPOILER) I mean come on! Henry already got the Charger!!!! Vlad should get the Camaro!!!!!!!!
LosinIt~RG style
it is not very goodd, but you could call the first sllayer bookkK Josses LifeK What really Happens.
I think you should do what you want cause both colors look good on you.
Sorry about your tote bags.
Aunti H. any color is beautiful on you. Be forwarned however; if your life-changing secret is what I think it is, please don’t take any chances with the dyes or other alterations.
Wish I could join u @ comic con.
DYE YOUR HAIR BLUE!!!!!!!!! That would be AWESOME my mom wont let m dye but my dad im not so sure??? Can’t wait till those new books come out! Could you give me some book writing advice I’m stumped, my short stories aren’t near as good as yours
Hmm, welll change is always good but I’d suggest either very dark blue or neon green. But I’m not so sure about the blue, though, Auntie…Dark would blend in too much(just look at Adam Lambert) and light blue doesn’t really seem much like you…But neon green, on the other hand…That’d look wicked.
Totally! Blue is awsome!! Actually i was thinking of blue for myself. But that would be TOATALLY AWESOME!!
Go for the blue bangs!!
umm i was thinking and wat happen if vlad is just abut to get killed by the vamp council and otis jumps out and gets insted… like wat dorian did( poor dorian he will be missed
)this is going to be bloody bloody bloody bad i think..
but still AWSOME
do neon ble that would be awsm! and yas rite wat happens if that happens….i would be devestated cuz if otis dies that wud be to hard on vlad and kinda hardd for me and acually to beleive that to it would be weirdish sad… but electrick blues is the way to go!
I definately think you should change your bangs to blue! That would look awesome.
lol How ironic that I’ll be a senior the same time Vlad is when 12GK comes out. I just realized that.
Lame that someone stole the tote bags. =/ If any come up anywhere iterrogate the people with them to see who they got them from. Threaten to sic Vlad on them. ;p
I think I know your life changing secret. Of course I could be totally off. But all things considered, my guess seems as though it has a fair chance at being right.
Blue would look awsome auntie XD
Ugh
I’m soo worried I really don’t want Vlad to die…but Idk I think he mught live and probably Otis and Nelly will end up dying and really hope that Joss doesnt die but he probably will and that will be tragic for his parents
I dont know what is to come but Im sure it will be SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME
theres no place like home, no place lie home..
Go blue auntie :] im doing that. [p.s ifinally dyed my hair a near black!! ah. the feeling of darkness is sweet, isnt it?]
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE BOOKS. im like freakin dyin’ over here. i need more of aunties drugs [tehe i meant writing] to keep me afloat o.O
wow. thats so dumb [about the person stealing vlad totes]. u shud try checking ebay.com for vlad smiley bags n such incase the person is trying to seal them cuz then you can report them.
is the personal thing good, or bad?
and ur teasing. u always tease over big news. its not nice
P.S …. I LOVE YOU!!! XD
I LOVE WRITING ON THIS BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
