Twilight Fan? Aspiring Author? Check Out George Beahm’s Latest Book

If you’re a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, you’ll probably like Twilight Tours: the Illustrated Guide to the REAL Forks, which, as it happens, has just been written and published my uncle George Beahm, in collaboration with the Forks Chamber of Commerce.

Forks, Washington, is the actual town where the fictional series takes place.

Beahm says

“this guidebook was especially written for Twilight fans who want an insider’s photo-illustrated guide to the small town in Washington State that novelist Stephenie Meyer put on the literary map.”

Stats: 112 pages • full color throughout • $11.95 paperback • $19.95 hardback • In bookstores nationwide on August 1, 2009.

For those writer-types out there who, like myself actually, aren’t interested in the Twilight series, you should still visit Beahm’s website for the book, as it offers a really good example of how to set up a website to market your book.

In addition to talking about the book itself, Beahm provides a lot of substantive material to entice people to buy the book, such as:

# A Peek Inside
# Forks photos
# About the Contributors
# Book Contents
# web links
# Ordering the book
# interview

I’ve looked through the book myself and it has really good photos; they give a face to many places mentioned throughout the Twilight series. And I’m not a fan of Twilight; never read the books. But this guidebook was definitely fun to browse through.
