People in Hong Kong, Texas, Vancouver, and Michigan have all emailed to tell me they've found (and bought) Rises the Night. YAY!
So what are you waiting for?
Get thee to a store! Buy a copy!
Put me out of my Release Day Jitters (which are exacerbated by PMS, unfortunately for my Music Man and the rest of the VampAuthor/MusicMan Clan–and to the delight of Dairy Queen, Jet's Pizza, and Frito-Lay) and get your copy this week!
And then make like a JK Rowling fan and curl up and read it.
And if you're still at work, biding your time until you can leave to get thee to a bookstore, you can check out these interviews and other fun things being hosted on the Web in honor of the Rises the Night release:
Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings is sponsoring a chance to win an ARC of The Bleeding Dusk, if you send a picture of the book by June 10. (You don't have to read the whole interview, but it's pretty darn good if I do say so myself, and since this is the Most Shameless of Self-Promotion, I'm going to say it!…but anyway, the contest details are near the end of the post).(Oh, and Carl also reviewed the book, here.)
Jaye did a fabulous interview with me in which she asks me the most impossible question: who would win in a fight, Buffy or Victoria?
Hilariously talented author Jana DeLeon is posting an exclusive excerpt from Rises the Night in honor of its release date…go check it out if you need something besides the fabulous reviews to whet your appetite for the book!
The Jaunty Quills, home of such talented authors as co-Noodler Anne Mallory and others, along with their…er…spiky porcupine…are hosting me in an odd sort of interview with Jaunty, and a chance to win an autographed book.
And Twisted Kingdom wants you to join them on a scavenger hunt for Rises the Night…with another chance to win an early copy of The Bleeding Dusk.
So what are you sticking around here for? Get going!!!!!

Congrats! I’m glad its out. Jeff saw it last week at Borders, so some have gotten it even earlier than today! I’m going to do my part and pick up a copy today. I’ll probably do a picture too just for the fun of it.

Well I went to get it today. It wasn’t on the shelf but I asked if your second book was in and they did have it in stock in the back. So yay! I so can’t wait to read it. Whoo whee.

I got it! I got it! I couldn’t make it to the bookstore myself so my sweet Mr. Sleepy Reader went and got it for me. That’s love if ever I saw it.
