…Rave14! Please send your mailing address to heather@heatherbrewer.com with a note reminding me that you won the Five Flavors of Dumb contest! CONGRATS!

For those that didn’t win, take heed – Auntie is working on a pretty major contest for the Win Stuff page. Just be patient and trust that it’ll be worth it. *rubs hands together all evil-like*

Today I’m off to Old Greenwich, CT for the Penguin sales conference. Yay Penguins!

Once Upon a Time, There Was an Auntie Heather…

Heather Brewer — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 15:20:02 +0000

…and she had a crazy week. First off, her awesome mother-in-law visited and they had a blast hanging out. Then she got sick with what she thought was a cold, but now suspects that might be a sinus infection. Shortly after this terrible cold/infection began (which may or may not have been part of a dastardly plot to destroy her plans for world domination), the new french doors to Auntie Heather’s office were installed, and Auntie was sooooo happy she almost cried. BUT THEN…she had a coffin couch delivered! And the Minions rejoiced…

Ahh, yes…what you had thought was merely a tale of woe was actually MY WEEK!!! MY RUSE WORKED! And that is REALLY my own, personal coffin couch, made for me by the wonderful folks at www.coffincouches.com! HOW COOL IS THAT?! I’m stoked. And just a bit of paint, a new desk, and some black damask velvet flock wallpaper away from my new office being complete.

The rest of my week has been good and I hope yours has too, Minions. I’ve been writing BLOODBOUND and mulling over my editorial letter for BEGINNING, just trying to wrap my head around a few things. Oh, and I got to hang out with an amazing friend at his second book’s launch party! His name is Antony John and he’s BRILLIANT and FUNNY and I adore him. So…I snagged a copy of his new book, FIVE FLAVORS OF DUMB and forced him to sign it for a lucky winner here on my blog! So…if you want a copy of Antony’s new book, just comment. I’ll draw a random winner on Tuesday. Just look at this cover (and Antony, looking all smart and awesome and stuff)!

And if you’re in the area, tonight Antony and I will be signing from 6-8PM at the Middendorf Kredell Branch of the St. Charles Library, 2750 Highway K, O’ Fallon. Here’s the library’s link: http://www.youranswerplace.org Hope to see a few of you there!

HOLY VLAD BUCK, BATMAN!

Life is really weird, Minions. Not just my life, but everyone’s life. Time flies by so quickly at times (say, the summer passing by) and at other times, it drags on into eternity (like, for instance, when you’re in the middle of algebra class and the bell. won’t. ring.). And I think we sometimes forget to stop and enjoy the little things. You know…like finding out we now have Vlad smilies on dollar bills.

Yeah. Even the distant memory of algebra class comas couldn’t bring me down after seeing something like that. Because DUDE!!!!!!! VLAD IS ON A DOLLAR!!! A LEGAL TENDER, AWESOMETASTIC DOLLAR!!!

So…I wanna give one away. Even though I’m soooo tempted to horde it! To enter: leave a comment saying in what fangtastic way you’ll spend your Vlad buck. I’ll choose a winner this Thursday.

EDITED TO ANNOUNCE THE FANGTASTIC MINION WHO WON THE VLAD BUCK: DeadPplKindaGrl!!! Drop me an email at heather@heatherbrewer.com with your name and address, please. YOU WON! (I chose radomly, Minions, because soooo many of your answers were too awesome for me to choose between)

Oh! And if you missed out on San Diego Comic Con 2010, you have GOT to see this!

An Exciting Change on the Win Stuff Page!

The title says it all, Minions – I’ve added a cool new prize and have given you more time, so get to entering!

No worries if you enter as a group. Auntie will manage to spoil you all.

EDITED TO ADD: It does NOT have to be a live video. PowerPoint or a form of animation is totally acceptable!

Winners of the latest contest announced!

As you can see, Minions, it took Auntie Heather a loooooong time to pour through the over 300 entries for the art contest, and even longer to pick the winners. You’re all so talented! But, finally, after a lot of back and forth, I decided, and can’t wait to share with you the grand prize winner of the engraved iPod – an incredibly talented Minion by the name of E.M.!

E.M. drew this fangatstic picture of D’Ablo. It’s drool-worthy, for sure!

And the two amazing Minions who won first prizes (autographed copies of TENTH GRADE BLEEDS) are Linnea Nierman, who drew an incredible picture of Meredith at the Snow Ball, and Cassidy Charles, who drew an unbelievable picture of Kristoff (aka David)!

CONGRATS< Minions! Watch my Win Stuff page in the next few days for a new and exciting contest!!
