Greetings, Minion Horde!!!

Cuddle up in your cute lil skull-covered blankies, Minions, because Auntie Heather has missed you soooooo much and has so many fangtastic things to tell you! As many of you know (I really should get better about blogging the deets of my life, but in case I can’t grasp that fact, you should follow me on Twitter or Facebook – links in the side bar) I recently ran away to London with my big sis. It was my first passport stamp, and it did not disappoint. We saw tons of cool stuff, did research for THE SLAYER CHRONICLES (formerly the series known as THE SLAYER JOURNALS), and got Lewis Carroll-themed tattoos. AND…the ABSOLUTE BEST PART….?

I met a Minion!

Her name is Sidney and she totally didn’t believe I am who I said I am – the great and powerful Auntie Heather. But I’m hoping she believes me now, after an ID check (no, seriously) and her pic on my blog. Sidney sounded American, which is kinda funny. I go ALL THE WAY to London to run into an American Minion. She complimented my Vlad bag. Just shows it pays to carry that smiley around with me.

Anyhoo…my family and I just officially moved into our new house (no worries, STL Minions! I’m still calling STL home). We’re busy, busy, busy. And in just over a month, TWELFTH GRADE KILLS hits the stores! (If you’ve been waiting for the paperback of ELEVENTH GRADE BURNS, wait no longer – you can find it in stores now!) ALSO…I just got my tour dates for the release of 12th. I’ll post them later today.

You may now celebrate.

Also, Minions! If you haven’t taken part in the Minion Challenges on VladTod.com, please do so now. Go forth and spread the Vlad love!
