NEW YORK (AP) – Attention Twilight fans: Stephanie Meyer has a new book coming out.

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will release "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" on June 5.

The novella is told from the viewpoint of Bree, a newborn vampire featured in "Eclipse." That's one of the books in Meyer's best-selling teen-vampire saga.

Meyer says in a statement Tuesday the novella had originally been planned for "The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide." But she says it became too long to fit into the guide.

The publisher says one dollar for each book sold in the U.S. from the first printing of 1.5 million copies will be donated to the American Red Cross International Response Fund. It supports disaster relief efforts such as those in Haiti and Chile.

New Moon is the second book in the Twilight series by author Stephenie Meyer.  Meyer says that the book is about losing true love. The book was originally released in hardcover in 2006, following the successful publishing of Meyer's debut novel Twilight. The movie version was released on November 20, 2009.

In her search to heal her pain, Bella learns that thrill-seeking activities, such as motorcycle riding, cause her to "hear" Edward's voice in her head. Jacob Black also helps her to recover with his good nature and easy manner.  Bella later discovers that Jacob and other tribe members are shape-shifters who assume gigantic wolf forms. Jacob and his pack protect Bella from the vampire Laurent and also Victoria.  Victoria still seeks revenge for her dead mate, James, whom the Cullens killed in Twilight.

During this time Edward comes to believe that Bella has killed herself. He is so torn up over the thought of her death that he goes to Italy to fight the Volturi.  They are vampire royalty who are capable of killing him, so one might say he has a suicide wish.  Alice and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, arriving just in time to stop him. The Volturi tell Edward that Bella, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire because she is a human who knows that vampires exist, . When they return to Forks, Edward tells Bella that he has always loved her and only left Forks to protect her. She forgives him, and the Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire.  Edward thinks it's a horrible idea, but he gives Bella a choice: either she lets Carlisle change her or she marries him and he will change her himself.
