Author Stephenie Meyer never imagined her Twilight books would receive this much limelight. What was only a dream to her is now a favorite multimedia image to teens across the world.
After Meyer had a dream about emotionally realistic characters in a captivating field,
household chores seemed to float to the back of her mind as she raced to write down everything she could remember about her mesmerizing dream.Three months later she had written Twilight, and with encouragement from her sister, Meyer sent her manuscript out to several publishing companies. Surprisingly soon enough, the publishing company Little, Brown took Twilight under its wings and the book became the most talked about novel in 2005.
Stephenie Meyer received her bachelor's degree in English from Brigham Young University and lives in Arizona with her children and husband. Being a stay-at-home mom of three boys, she never knew that her one little dream could've possibly unlocked a new career and all her newfound success. Twilight hit number 5 on the New York Times bestseller list, New Moon landed the number one spot for more than 25 weeks in a row, Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon, and Breaking Dawn sold 1.3 million copies in 24 hours of it's release. Released on November 21, the Twilight movie debuted the box office at number one with 70 million dollars.
A new twist on the classic Romeo and Juliet, Twilight truly is worth all its hype. It is wonderfully well written and really connects its readers to the characters through emotions. That's what makes all the fans swoon over Edward, the handsome, god-like vampire who says all the right things. Who wouldn't fall in love with the Twilight series?
