We have good news for the Twilight fans out there. A Twilight-related novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella will be out June 5th. If you’re not quite sure who Bree is, USA Today explains:
The new novella is told in the voice of the teenage Bree, a “newborn vampire” whom we meet on page 569 in Eclipse. Ten pages later, she’s dead.
The print run for this character who lived all of 10 pages previously is 1.5 million. Now that’s impressive.
As an author I can tell you readers email all the time and ask for stories from secondary characters in books. It’s an awesome thing. It means people care enough about the world the author created to want to know more. I even had someone email and ask for the story of a character who died… and was the bad guy, but I’ve never had 1.5 million people ask. So, once again, congrats to Stephanie Meyer for creating a compelling world readers love. You might not like the books but you have to admire what she’s accomplished and her ability to get people reading.
