New Eclipse Novella to Be Released

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner who?

If Eclipse supporting actress Jodelle Ferland draws strong reviews in this summer's release, she may get a major movie vehicle of her own soon enough.

That's because Twilight saga author Stephenie Meyer is releasing an additional element of the vampire tale that just may bring the teen front and center.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella is a 192-pager about the newborn who's recruited for the army hunting down Bella and Edward.

So no Taylor Lautner shirtless. But still, worth a read?

An Eclipse novella hits stores in about two months.

The story began as an exercise Meyer performed to explore the darker side of the battle in the third installment of her hit series, which grew into more.

"I'd always considered The Short Life of Bree Tanner as something for the fans," she said of the book, which hits shelves June 5 (25 days before Eclipse).

And, like you needed more incentive for additional Twilight material ...

A dollar from every book sold in the U.S. will go to American Red Cross International Response Funds to support disaster relief efforts in Haiti and Chile.

That's even sweeter than Edward and Bella in bed in that new clip!
