The official release date for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Rest Falls Away&lt;/span&gt;. I can hardly believe it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you haven't seen it in stores yet,  it should show up in bookstores all over North America (and beyond) today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me know if you see it anywhere, particularly if it's in non-bookstore locations--like Walmart, CVS, Target, etc., because I'm not sure which, if any, of them will carry it. (Being a debut novel and all.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to help me celebrate the release this week, several bloggers are hosting contests, interviews, and other fun stuff...so if you get a chance, check them out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://janadeleon.blogspot.com/2007/01/official-release-day.html"&gt;Jana DeLeon's Musings of a Louisiana Liar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://zeusexcuse.blogspot.com/2007/01/interview-with-colleen-gleason.html"&gt;Zeus Excuse&lt;/a&gt; (the smartest blogger cat ever!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://riskyregencies.blogspot.com/"&gt;The Risky Regencies&lt;/a&gt; (interview on Thursday)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vampireromancebooks.com/"&gt;Vampire Romance Books&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ideaboutique.blogspot.com/2007/01/rest-falls-away-gardella-vampire.html"&gt;The Idea Boutique&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author &lt;a href="http://www.carolinelinden.com"&gt;Caroline Linden &lt;/a&gt;has an interview and a unique prize (since the contest will be up all month).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...and more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks so much for sharing my excitement today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(PS This is such an exciting day today for me, please don't ruin it by mentioning what happened in Pasadena yesterday.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7317288-1979507352112527635?l=colleengleason.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://colleengleason.blogspot.com/feeds/1979507352112527635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7317288&amp;postID=1979507352112527635&amp;isPopup=true' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7317288/posts/default/1979507352112527635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7317288/posts/default/1979507352112527635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://colleengleason.blogspot.com/2007/01/official-release-day.html' title='Official Release Day!'/><author><name>Colleen Gleason</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15650958015205097847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02768715509269275238'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>24</thr:total></entry>
