STEPHENIE MEYER
Stephenie Meyer (born December 24, 1973) is the author of the book Twilight and its sequels New Moon and Eclipse.
Meyer was born in Connecticut, the second eldest of three sisters and three brothers, and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona.
Meyer attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she majored in English. She met her husband Christian when she was growing up in Arizona and married him in 1994; together they have three sons: Gabe, Seth, and Eli.
Meyer says that the idea for Twilight came to her in a dream, the transcript of which is now Chapter 13 of the book. After writing and editing the novel, she signed a three-book deal with Little, Brown and Company.
The sequel to Twilight, New Moon, had an unintentionally staggered release all over North America, beginning in early August 2006. The third book in the series, Eclipse, is currently slated for release on August 7, 2007. The fourth book, Breaking Dawn, will be published in fall 2008. She has said on her website that there will be more than four books, though the narrator might change. Midnight Sun will be more of a companion piece to the series,(if published) rather than a genuine sequel, as it describes "Twilight" from the view of Edward Cullen. The first chapter of Midnight Sun has been posted on Meyer's website.
