Stephenie Meyer's New Novel 'The Chemist'

Image
Stephenie Meyer is back with a new novel, titled The Chemist . In this gripping page-turner, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life. She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn’t even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They’ve killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon. When her former handler offers her a way out, she realises it’s her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous. Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughes...

Stephenie Meyer Announces New Twilight Retelling

Image
Twilight is getting a makeover, in a form of a gender-swapped retelling of the story! The new book is titled " Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined ", and sees Edward and Bella's gender reversed. In honor of the 10th anniversary of her best-selling vampire romance, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer has written a 442-page reimagining of the novel that made her a publishing sensation. This time around, she’s switched the genders of her protagonists. Yes, it’s true. In the new tale titled Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, Bella Swan is now a boy named Beau (short for Beaufort) and the brooding Edward Cullen is now Edythe. Meyer is expected to discuss the project in more detail during an appearance Tuesday morning on Good Morning America. Read the entire article on EW . The book will be released in the States on Tuesday (not sure today, or next Tuesday, 13th October) in hardcover and ebook. I'll update the blog when the book's on sale locally. Looks like we ...

Stephenie Meyer Gives Details On 'The Storytellers'

Image
On her official website , Stephenie Meyer gives more details on the upcoming Twilight short films. It's called " The Storytellers: New Voices of the Twilight Saga " Hi Friends - On Wednesday I, along with Lionsgate, Women in Film, Facebook and Tongal, announced an exciting new project: “The Storytellers – New Creative Voices of The Twilight Saga” (or if you’re following the hashtags on social media: #TwilightStories for short.) We are teaming up to find five aspiring female filmmakers to create short films based on a broad spectrum of characters from the Twilight universe. We’re excited to have Twilight fans participate in a variety of ways; I’m looking forward to finding out which characters you’re most interested in. If you want to refresh your memories on their stories, they’re located in the Twilight Official Guide. Which do you think are the most cinematic? One thrilling part of the project is the amazing group of ladies teaming with me to mentor these aspi...

Stephenie Meyer Still Appreciate Twilighters

The apparent quote that Stephenie Meyer is over Twilight has struck a nerve in the Twilight community. She said this in the Variety interview. DM: What about a return to “Twilight?” SM: I get further away every day. I am so over it. For me, it’s not a happy place to be. DM: Is the door completely closed on that? SM: Not completely. What I would probably do is three paragraphs on my blog saying which of the characters died. I’m interested in spending time in other worlds, like Middle-Earth. To clear up any misunderstandings, Stephenie took to her official blog to clear it up. Even those of you who love Twilight the most (in fact, especially those who love it the most) have probably noticed that there's been just a teensy little bit of backlash following the success of the books and films. I try my hardest to be thick-skinned, but I'm not much better at that than I am at brevity. So when I speak of Twilight becoming a negative place for me, it is entirely that...

Stephenie Meyer talks to Variety about 'Austenland'

Image
Stephenie Meyer talks to Variety on her production company, Fickle Fish Films, as well as 'Austenland'. Q&A Stephenie Meyer: ‘Twilight’ Author Trades Undead for Well-Bred in ‘Austenland’ The Y.A. author's Fickle Fish Films keeps the focus on romance in Keri Russell starrer “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer is moving on. She’s put a stake in the heart of her megahit vampire franchise, and saw modest results ($48 million worldwide) earlier this year from an adaptation of her romantic sci-fi novel “The Host.” These days, instead of writing, she’s more focused on being a producer — a skill she gained from assuming that role on the final two “Twilight” movies and “The Host.” Her two-year-old shingle Fickle Fish Films, launched with co-topper Meghan Hibbett, is readying its first release, “Austenland,” starring Keri Russell as a die-hard Jane Austen fan who plans a vacation at a country house steeped in the world of the 19th century British romance writer. The film,...

Happy Birthday, Twilight!

Image
June 2, 2003 marks the day that our fav vampire story came to life, which makes today the birthday of Twilight !! As Stephenie Meyer explains it, it all came to her in a from of a dream: I know the exact date that I began writing Twilight, because it was also the first day of swim lessons for my kids. So I can say with certainty that it all started on June 2, 2003. Up to this point, I had not written anything besides a few chapters (of other stories) that I never got very far on, and nothing at all since the birth of my first son, six years earlier. I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were falling in love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to the sce...

Stephenie Meyer talks 'Austenland' at Sundance

Image
Stephenie Meyer was at Sundance to promote Austenland, a film of which she will be producing. There were also talks about what a Twilight theme park would look like, if it were to happen. Stephenie Meyer knows all about obsessive fans. So it makes sense that the "Twilight" author should produce a movie about a woman who takes another writer's work a little too much to heart. Meyer is a producer on the Sundance Film Festival premiere "Austenland," adapted from her friend Shannon Hale's novel that follows the romantic misadventures of a Jane Austen devotee. "Austenland" stars Keri Russell as a woman named Jane who is so fanatical about the "Pride and Prejudice" author's fiction that she blows her life savings to visit an Austen-themed British resort. Jane is so fixated on finding her own Austen-style suitor that she has a life-size cut-out of Colin Firth as aloof suitor Mr. Darcy in a BBC production of "Pride and Prejud...

Stephenie Meyer Addresses 'Breaking Dawn, Part 2' Ending

If you haven't watched the movie, you might not want to read the following article. Stephenie Meyer discusses the decision to end Breaking Dawn Part 2 the way she did, which differs from the book. Hi everyone. I hope you're all coming back from a really fabulous Thanksgiving weekend, full of quality family time, too much delicious food, and restful tryptophan comas. Two weeks ago, while doing press for Breaking Dawn 2, there were a lot of questions I wasn't able to answer because I didn't want to spoil the ending for anyone. I promised in a couple of interviews that I would post the answer to a specific question on my website once everyone had had a chance to see the movie. Now, if there is anyone reading this who hasn't had a chance to see BD2 yet and really wants to remain unspoiled, please stop reading now. ***spoilers ahead***

Stephenie Meyer and Kristen Stewart Interview with LA Times

Image
LA Times had an interview with Kristen and Stephenie Meyer. It's a long one, and a good one at that. Even after all this time, author Stephenie Meyer, the Mormon mother of three who became an overnight literary sensation with the 2005 publication of her young-adult novel "Twilight," can't explain the phenomenon that surrounds the grand romance between vampire Edward Cullen and human teenager Bella Swan, characters played on-screen by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. "I don't know what makes people love it, I don't know what makes people hate it," said Meyer, seated comfortably in a suite of a Beverly Hills hotel. "But I do know that the feeling of being in love is a good feeling. We want to feel that emotion." "I've always said that," Stewart said to Meyer, sitting beside her. "It's so vicarious. It's not like you are watching two people or reading two people. You feel like you are doing it. It...
