Ever since I posted my tribute ([link]) to this brilliant writer, a Lot of people kept asking me when the book would be released, so I thought I should share the new informations regarding this particular subject that is of interest to a great deal of people around this community: The release of Stephenie Meyer's sequel to the New York Times best seller New Moon, Eclipse.

Miss Meyer has updated the Eclipse page [link] at her website to include a better quality picture of the book cover preview available at Barnes and Noble, a small snippet from the book, as well as a confirmation that the book will be in stores by August 7.

Preview is as follows:

"BELLA?"

Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again.

This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine—like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us.

As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob—knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?
