Further details on the Eclipse Prom along with some vintage pictures of Stephenie and her family at proms can be found here.

New Moon (as reported on Stephenie’s site) was mentioned on the Comedy Central program, The Colbert Report.

REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS INFORMATION!!!

Stephenie’s website has been updated with info on the date, time, location, and ticket sales for E-prom.  Go there NOW for all the details.  We at the lexicon don’t know anything more than what is posted at her website.  As soon as we have any more details about hotels or what-not, we will pass that on to you.

Well, Alphie and I got together for another Forks-cast last night. You can currently find it here. It will eventually be moved tot the regular archive page.

And, there are at E-Prom details on Stephenie’s website.

The Lexicon is officially ONE YEAR OLD!!  Whoa… lots of things have happened in the last year, and we thoroughly appreciate all the support we’ve had from our members.  In honor of this occasion, we’ve opened a new forum dedicated to celebrating the last year and all the memories and friends that have been made along the way.  Check it out here!

Stephenie has updated the Eclipse page at her website to include a MUCH better quality picture of the book cover as well as a small snippet from the book.  The same "summary" that was posted at Barnes and Noble is on the page as well the confirmation that the book will be in stores by Aug. 7.

New Moon is back in the number one position this week on the New York Times best seller list!

I wonder if that had anything to do with interest sparked by the cover release and blurb of Eclipse?

So we thought we would have to wait until May to see the cover, but Barnes and Noble has gone and put it up at their site along with some info on the content of the book.  Be warned that the image is REALLY crappy, so use your imagination for what it should look like all glossy and clean and pretty.  I set up a thread on the message boards for you to discuss your thoughts and feelings about the cover. 

You may also notice that the release date at Barnes and Noble is Aug.7.  This is the same date Stephenie has tossed out as a possible date.  I hate to say that it is 100% set in stone since I don’t have this confirmed yet, but it looks legit.

Some of you may have had a heads up on this one, but I wanted to get the word out officially.  I don’t have all the specifics yet, but I do know that Stephenie will be in Italy the weekend of May 18th.  There are plans in the works for her to be in Rome and In Volterra, but nothing set in stone yet.  As soon as we know anything more definite, we will post it here. 

She’s also heading back to Spain for the Madid Book Festival in the Retiro on May 25th.  That means she will be in and around Europe for about a week.  Keep checking back here for more news as it comes our way.

Along those same lines, I know you are all sick of hearing it, but there is no more news on the Prom.  Trust me when I say that I am well aware of how tense everyone is feeling right now about not know what’s going on.  Stephenie feels it too and hopes to have something for us very soon.

ALso, I just wanted everyone to know that I have seen the cover for Eclipse and it’s rather nice.  I can’t wait to hear the speculation over what you all think it means!  LOL!

And lastly, I was chatting with Pel last night and she asked me when the Lexicon’s anniversary was.  In looking through my e-mail, I found out that it was exactly one year ago TODAY that I first spoke to Stephenie on the phone, nervous wreck that I was!  I can’t believe that it’s only been a year.  It feels like I’ve known her and all of you for a lot longer!  You guys all rock and I’m so greatful for the support you’ve shown the lex over the last year.  More to come on the official anniversary of the lex!

This is cross-posted from a thread in our forums concerning B&N posting that Eclipse was available for pre-order and giving a "release date"

As several people in this thread have stated, this is not an official release date. This date could change multiple times over the next few months. If memory serves, the New Moon release date changed approximately six times, and then the real kick in the pants was when Amazon.com delivered their books about two and a half weeks before what we were assuming was the release date.

"Actually, Eclipse WILL have a lay down date. It’s not officially absolutely-without-a-doubt-for-sure August 7th, but it will be in August. I expect to have an official date in the next few weeks."

So to recap: when we get a lay down date confirmation  we’ll shout it from the hilltops, along with any potential information we may have in regards to release parties.
