Female Force: Stephenie Meyer: Bluewater
Fans of Twilight and Stephenie Meyer will want to get to the bookstore on Wednesday when a new comic book biography will be released.
Bluewater Productions will officially release their new Stephenie Meyer biography on November 11th. Bluewater recently announced their collaboration with S.E. Hinton on a new series and the release of a graphic novel adaptation of Taming the Star Runner. From Bluewater’s website comes the following release:
"TWILIGHT" IN THE SPOTLIGHT: STEPHENIE MEYER FEATURED IN "FEMALE FORCE" BIO COMIC
In time for the November theatrical release of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," Bluewater Productions announced it is producing two versions of an upcoming biography comic on best selling author Stephenie Meyer.
Female Force: Stephenie Meyer, scheduled for release right before the movie hits theaters on, November 20th, provides readers two options: a standard 22-page version and a double-sized collector’s edition that contains a variety of extras.
"We get to turn the tables on Meyers and she becomes the featured protagonist," said Bluewater’s president Darren G. Davis. "And we are going to tell her story in a very fun, respectful and unique way."
The comic, written by Ryan Burton ("Flying Saucers vs The Earth") examines her rise to popularity, her "Twilight" saga novels, the launching of the successful movie franchise and her future plans. According to Burton, a very recognizable and iconic vampire will serve as the story’s narrator.
"It's an equally strange and great feeling to write about an author of this magnitude, especially in a format that's near and dear to my heart. I think it's brilliant that Stephenie Meyer's story will be read by both fans of her work, and fans of the comic book medium," Burton said.
The alternate 40-page collector’s edition will include the history of Forks; the Washington peninsula town where her stories take place as well as other bonus material not found anywhere else.
The title is being drawn by Dave MacNeil and Vinnie Tartamella provides the cover art.
Meyer, Named USA Today's "Author of the Year" in 2008, is the first author of fiction featured in the Female Force series. The series, to date, has published biographies on such influential women as Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin and Princess Diana.
Female Force offers a broad examination of strong and influential women who are shaping modern history and culture.
"Stephenie Meyer has captured the imagination of millions. She has parlayed her stories into a cottage industry and that’s why we felt she was indeed a 'Female Force,'" Davis added. "Also, I’m hooked on the books like everyone else!"
