Vampires, werewolves and, of course, the people who love them have been very good to writer Stephenie Meyer. The writer and creator of the mega-selling Twilight series of vampire novels has achieved that rarest of feats for modern authors: She's become a celebrity, a household name. And last year, Meyer also became a comic-book star. Bluewater Productions released Female Force: Stephenie Meyer, a graphic biography detailing Meyer's rise from unknown writer to the guiding force behind one of the book industry's top-selling franchises, last November.
Meyer's comic biography resonated with fans of the Twilight novels and movies. Bluewater, in fact, sold-out of several runs of the comic, making it one of the most successful of the company's hot-selling line of biography comics. That's why Bluewater is releasing a new, hardcover version of Meyer's story entitled Twilight Unbound: The Stephenie Meyer Story.
This new version will include updates on the success of New Moon, the most recent Twilight film, and a look at Meyer's future plans for Edward and Bella, the romantic leads of her vampire books. The book will also be stuffed with extras, making it a must-buy for Twilight fans.
The collectible version with new features will be the first hardcover for Bluewater and will retail for $12.99. Written by Ryan Burton with art by David McNeil, the comic is just the latest in Bluewater's popular biography line. This series of biography comics has already highlighted such influential women as Oprah Winfrey, J.K. Rowling, Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton. The series' goal is to examine the lives of these important figures in an objective and balanced manner without resorting to sensationalism.
"The fan reaction to our original release of Female Force: Stephenie Meyer was amazing," said Darren G. Davis, president of Bluewater Productions. "The positive response took even me by surprise! That's why I'm so excited to release this new version of Meyer's story. I hope her fans appreciate the new information and extras we were able to dig up for this edition of the book."
The book is scheduled for a release in May in time for the Twilight: Eclipse film. The book is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com.
