Twilight author's new book The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner breaks pre-order records

A TWILIGHT spin-off by New Moon and Eclipse author Stephenie Meyer has broken sales records - and you can't even buy it yet!

Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's brand new novella - entitled The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner - has already shot to the top of Amazon's best-seller list, less than 24 hours after it became available to pre-order.

Written as a thank you gift to fans of the Twilight books and movies starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart - which include New Moon and Eclipse - the short book is Stephanie's first new title in nearly two years.

�I�d always considered The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner as something for the fans,� said Stephanie. �They have been so supportive of all things Twilight.�

The new novella is told from the point of view of Bree, a 'newborn' vampire who features in Eclipse.

Stephanie revealed: �I�m as surprised as anyone about this novella.

�When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time.

�I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website.

�Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story.

�However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.�

Meyer is also placing her 192-page novella on a dedicated website, www.breetanner.com, from June 7 to July 5, for fans from around the world to view the story in a �read only� format.

It is also being released on both sides of the Atlantic on June 5 in hardback priced at �11.99.

Meyer, who lives in Arizona with her husband and three sons, wrote on her website: �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.�

She added: �We still wanted to also produce a physical book with a cool cover that you can add to your set if you like.�

ok!
