STEPHENIE MEYER GER UT EN NY BOK:
(Allt material är hittat på källan TwilightSweden.se!)
Stephenie Meyer och Little Brown Books avslöjade tidigare i dag att en ny, kortare bok, kommer att läggas till i Twilight-serien! - Boken är en slags "spinoff" och kommer att handla om newborn-vampyren Bree Tanner (med i Eclipse).
- Boken kommer att vara ca 200 sidor tjock och den släpps 5 juni 2010! Boken kommer att heta “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner“!
Stephenie skriver att denna “novell” egentligen skulle ha funnits med i den officiella guiden till Twilight-serien, men att den i slutändan blev så lång att den förtjänade sin egna bok!!
Pressmeddelandet från Stephenie Meyer:
Surprise!
I have a new book coming out. It’s called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Well, it’s more of a novella than an actual book—my version of a short story.
Actually, this has been a surprise to me, too. The reason why it’s a surprise was that I never intended to publish this story as a stand-alone book. I began this story a long time ago—before Twilight was even released. Back then I was just editing Eclipse, and in the thick of my vampire world. I was thinking a lot about the newborns, imagining their side of the story, and one thing led to another. I started writing from Bree’s perspective about those final days, and what it was like to be a newborn.
This story was something that I worked on off and on for a while, just for fun, in between the times I was writing or editing other Twilight novels. Later, when the concept for The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide came up, I thought that might be a good place for Bree. Her story is a nice complement to Eclipse; it explains a lot of the things that Bella never knew. So I dusted it off and finished it up for placement in the Guide.
At the same time, it came in handy for the Eclipse film. Melissa (Rosenberg, the screenwriter) had a ton of questions about what exactly was going on in Seattle, how Victoria managed things, what Riley was like, etc. I let her read what I had then, and later gave the whole thing to the director, David Slade. David asked if Xavier, Bryce, and Jodelle (Riley, Victoria, and Bree) could read it as well, so all the parties involved would end up having a really strong foundation for their characters before the cameras started rolling. I was pleased that this side of the story would make it into the film and was looking forward to including it in the Guide.
Then I got the news: my “short story” was nearly 200 pages long when typeset. It was too long to fit into the Guide—without ending up with a tome as heavy as the Oxford English Dictionary. My publisher approached me with the idea of releasing the Bree story on its own. One of the major benefits of this plan was that it would be out before the movie, so people would get to know Bree before they saw her in the film. That made sense to me, and we decided to go ahead with it.
There was one thing I asked for: since this story had always been an extra for me, and was meant to be released with the Guide, I wanted to be able to offer it to my fans for free. You all have bought a ton of my books, and I wanted to give you this story as a gift. My publisher was awesome and embraced this idea. We still wanted to also produce a physical book with a cool cover (see below) that you can add to your set if you like, but starting at noon on June 7th until July 5th, it will also be available online at www.breetanner.com.
One other aspect of this release is the plan to give a more important gift to people who really need it. One dollar of each book purchased in the US from the first printing will be donated to the American Red Cross for their relief efforts in Haiti and Chile and other parts of the world where people are in great need. We’re going to have an option online as well, so you can choose to make a donation if you want when you read the story online. I hope you will. I think that we can really help a lot of people with this.
I really hope you all enjoy this story. I had a blast writing it. I’m glad that after all this time cooling her heels in my files, Bree finally gets her chance to shine.
Thanks for all the support,
Steph

Kommentar: vi har ingen aning om hur det blir i Sverige, men vi får hålla tummar och tår att även vi kommer att kunna köpa den då. Internetbutiker brukar ju vara snabba på att importera nya titlar!
- Stephenie Meyer säger att “det här är en bok för fansen”. Därför kommer man att kunna läsa de 192-sidorna gratis på sajten breetanner.com from 7 juni till 5 juli.
“As a special thank you to fans, Meyer is giving them exclusive access to the novel on a dedicated website, www.breetanner.com, from June 7 to July 5, 2010 where fans from around the world will be able to read the book online in English. “I’d always considered The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner as something for the fans,” said Meyer. “They have been so supportive of all things Twilight.”
- En dollar av varje såld kopia kommer att gå till Amerikanska Röda Korset!!
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner kom till användning under inspelningen av Eclipse-filmen!
- Det här säger regissören David Slade:
“Stephenie was gracious enough to let me read a draft of the novella while we were prepping the movie The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” said Director David Slade. “I thoroughly enjoyed the story and it gave us great insight and inspired location choicesand the tailoring of scenes. I think fans are going to love the fascinating details involved in the loves, fears and actions of an emerging vampire.”

- Tanken var från början att historien om Bree skulle ha funnit med i den officiella guiden till Twilight-sagan (“The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide“), men boken blev så lång att det bestämdes att den skulle bli en självständig bok.
Kommentar: Nu till något intressant; den officiella-guiden väntar vi ju alla med spänning på! Releasedatumet för den har konstant ändrats i tvåårs tid, och i nuläget så är inte ens något releasedatum spikat! Men i pressmeddelandet får vi en hum om att något är på G:
“The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner will also be available as an ebook beginning at 6:00 a.m. EST on June 5, 2010. Additionally, more information about the previously announced The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, including publication date, will be released by the end of the year.
