A Twilight fix

Putting the world's excitement for the third vampire movie in the Twilight series, Eclipse, aside, Stephanie Meyer has dosed her Cullen addicts with a new fix of blood-sucker heaven.

June 4 saw the release of a spin-off short story 'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner', a novel about young vampire Bree who was part Victoria's vampire army in the third book.

I bought mine today and will soon be immersed in it I'm sure. Watch this space.

'The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner' is available now in all good book strores.

Fifth Twilight book coming in June

Stephanie Meyer, famed author of the Twilight saga has announced that she has written another book in the series, to be released on June 5.

The book, entitled The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, will be available online on Meyer's site for fans to read.

Meyer has said that this story is an extension of the third book, Eclipse and is about the young vampire, Bree who features in the book. The story will be from Bree's point of view.

She said that she had the idea for this story well before those for the four book series.

Anyone who reads the 192 page online book will be asked to donate to the American Red Cross charity.

I'm sure that I speak for all Twilight fans when I say, I can't wait!

Team Meyer!


I wrote of recent events leading to unexpected discoveries about myself and my interests. An avid love for reading is a certain contender in this.

It is bizarrely usual for me to read more in the Summer months of the year, but as seasonally inevitable that it may be, this year has seen a reinvention of this ethos into something which brings me to categorise reading as a hobby.

My recent fiction-addiction wilfully became the Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer. A writer who is immersed in undoubted talent and an extraordinary imagination, which easily rivals J.K Rowling and her Harry Potter series.

The four book saga; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn (my personal favourite, although to choose is a task in itself) is a brilliant encapsulation of what real raw talent and sheer genius is.

One review announces the saga to be hypnotic, dreamy prose, which captures perfectly the teenage feeling of sexual tension and alienation. My agreement on this is assured.

Meyer creates a world of supernatural happenings surrounded by a new twist on the teenage vampire saga, laid upon an inspiring story of true love. A formula destined for success as proved by the best-selling series and one which immersed me and many others from beginning to end.

Rest assured, once you start reading these books, it becomes a temporary way of life, a definite challenge to put them down. A daily fix of the fabulously written prose, which readers can really relate to, is utterly necessary. This, to me is a sure-fire sign of novel-genius.
