Stephenie Meyer has amassed a large fanbase of teens since publishing the first book in her “Twilight Saga” in 2005. Twilight tells the story of a teenager who falls in love with a vampire and their struggle to survive. Now, Breaking Dawn, Meyer’s fourth and final book of the series, is set to be released with a special concert series. Joining Meyer on tour will be Blue October’s Justin Furstenfeld.

In less than three years, Stephenie Meyer has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon – writing the internationally bestselling “Twilight Saga.” To celebrate the release of Breaking Dawn – the fourth and final book in the Saga – Little, Brown and Company invites fans to participate in an evening of story and song with Meyer and singer/songwriter Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October.

The event is designed to give fans a truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience by featuring music that inspired Meyer while writing the “Twilight Saga.” Music has played such a strong role in the writing of the series that Meyer has created playlists for each novel. Special musical guest Furstenfeld will perform several songs featured on these playlists, including “Sound of Pulling Heaven Down,” the platinum-selling “Hate Me”, and “Overweight”.

The evening will also include a Q&A and autographing with Meyer.

Currently, there are dates scheduled in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle.

Check out Blue October’s site or The Twilight Saga’s site for more details.
