Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young
University with a bachelor’s degree in English. She lives with her
husband and three young sons in Phoenix, Arizona.
On June 2, 2003, she had a vivid dream about two
people having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. She
was so intrigued by the puzzle her mind created that she wrote about
it everyday until The Twilight was born.
After the publication of her first novel,
Twilight, booksellers chose Stephenie Meyer as one of the “most
promising new authors of 2005” (Publishers Weekly). Following The
Twilight are equally beautiful sequels New Moon, Eclipse, and
Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun.
On May 6, 2008, she released her first adult
novel entitled The Host. It immediately won as New York Times Number
One Best Selling fiction book of the week of May 18, 2008 as well as
in Wall Street Journal and Publisher’s Weekly.
Because of her award-winning works, Meyer earned
a following of fans and is now predicted to be the next J.K Rowling.
