Stephanie Meyer Does Vogue

How did a suburban mother of three become the next big thing in publishing with her chaste-but-erotic Twilight series? Robert Sullivan meets Stephenie Meyer.

She may prefer to write late at night while her family sleeps, but for the record, there is not a lot about Stephenie Meyer, author of the better-than-best-selling Twilight series, that screams vampire. Yes, she has long dark hair and earthy brown eyes, casually highlighted this afternoon at her home in Arizona by a black Banana Republic cashmere sweater and jeans, but she lacks the arrogance associated with vampireness.

Update on New Director for New Moon Director Chris Weitz

As per Stephanie Meyers site

Summit Films is moving forward with a new director for New Moon. They've asked Chris Weitz, director of American Pie, About a Boy, and The Golden Compass, to join us, and I am very pleased to announce that he's agreed to be a part of our Twilight world. I've had the chance to talk to Chris, and I can tell you that he is excited by the story and eager to keep the movie as close to the book as possible. He is also very aware of you, the fans, and wants to keep you all extremely happy. (Torches and pitchforks are not going to be necessary.)

I'm excited to work with Chris and I think he brings a lot to the table, not the least of which for me is that he wrote the screenplay for and directed one of my favorite movies of all time, About a Boy. I'm really looking forward to seeing his vision for New Moon.

Below is a letter from Chris to you. I think you'll get a glimpse in this note of how cool it's going to be having Chris as part of our community.

One more thing, unrelated but fun: I finally got around to posting a few pictures from the premiere on the Twilight movie page

Twilight Fever

Summit Entertainment has secured screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to pen New Moon and Eclipse, the second and third installments. I am so excited.

Lead bloodsucker Robert Pattinson is also on board for the first three films no word on the other characters.

I am excited for Stephanie Meyer, the next J.K. Rowlings.

This cash cow has not yet left the building.

Scanning the web for more Twilight information, come back soon.

Amateur Review - Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Last month I borrowed a book from my friend Bek. She pretty much just held it out saying, "here, do you want to borrow this?" I was hesitant because well, I was reading something and we don't see each other that much. I hate borrowing and not returning right away but also because my SIL borrowed one of her books that I had at my house in December and still hasn't gotten it back to me.

We dished on the lost/will be returned eventually borrowed book and she said she would still loan it to me. I am so glad she did because it was GREAT!

I cannot wait to pick up the next installment of the series and cannot wait until the movie comes out.

Twilight was very easy to get into and to visualize the story as you read. I saw it playing out the whole time I was reading it. I actually feel that I have already seen the movie.

How do I describe this story without giving it away?

The story is about Bella the new kid at school who has an instant attraction to an Adonis named Edward. When Edward is absent from class, Bella finds herself very interested in finding out more about him and his family. When they finally reveal their mutual attraction their is more to him than meets the eye. Edward and his family are animal eating vampires. They don't kill humans for consumption although at any moment he could kill Bella. She is as drawn to him as he is too her and they try to make a go at a "normal" relationship.

When another group of vampires come to town, Edward and his family do what they can to protect Bella and the people she loves.

Stephanie Meyer spins a love story that can be enjoyed by teens and grown-ups alike. It is a fantasy story with realistic characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and wish I had my very own Edward. Someone who is intoxicated by the smell of me, can get me from point A to point B in a Mano second and someone who is so in touch with his feminine side he can hum me to sleep while holding me like a baby. Oh wait, that line was for my fetish blog. No, I don't have a fetish blog, but I should. Oh yeah, where were we? Twilight. Read it! You won't be disappointed.

If you love romance novels, vampire and werewolf stories, or if you are just looking for something different. Give it a try!

Note from Chotskies: I don't know that this book is for anyone under 16. Bella is a high schooler who becomes totally engrossed in her love for Edward and would rather die than live without him. Impressionable teen girls especially, may try to find the Edward in their own life.

For Readers 16+
4 Stars from Chotskies.
