Meyer04.JPGRick Barrick was on dawn patrol this morning in Frisco as Stephenie Meyer's The Host went on sale -- and tickets for her Saturday appearance were made available.

He wasn't alone -- 200 people were in line at the Barnes & Noble at Stonebriar Center at 5 a.m.

Rick says:

The line started at 9 p.m. Monday outside the store. Girls and young women made up most of the crowd, because, one woman said, "the books are based on romance" and "peaceful vampires."

University of Texas at Dallas student Matt McKee was one of a few young men in line. "I like vampires. I own all of Anne Rice's books," Mr. McKee said. "There is nothing wrong with romance every once in a while. It's nice to read a paragraph and go, 'Ahhhh.' "
