The Stars of Twilight

The very first and most important part of our interview with Stephenie Meyer is the very first thing we wanted to share with you. We have been bursting at the seems and wanting to scream from rooftops the Midnight Sun info we received direct from the horses mouth...Stephenie Meyer.




We didn't think any transcript would do it justice so we have an audio clip of that part of the interview!!! Hear Stephenie talk about Midnight Sun in a safe environment of drooling twilight fans! Let's just say we hung on her every word and so will you!

"It's not a no, it isn't going to happen. It's I wanna do it when I can do it right"

Disregard the first 16 seconds of chatter....

So it will be completed someday we just don't know when. I guess it will forever give us something to look for. just knowing it will be completed is enough for me, for now.



Let's just say that when Stephenie Meyer started out the interview with Midnight Sun that Kim and I sighed a huge relief....we knew like Oprah (asking the Robsten dating question), that we had to go there. We didn't know how the day with Stephenie would go so we thought twifans #1 question could be represented in a gift. We wanted to give the gift to her at the end just in case it didn't go over well. I'm not gonna lie I was nervous.....we were pleasantly surprised when she started hysterically laughing and calling to her assistant to see our card. She said she is going to frame it. We consider this a huge success knowing our card might be represented somewhere in her office.


Kanye West-"I'mma let you finish about Bree Tanner,

BUT Midnight Sun is the best 1/2 story of all time!"



Stephenie Meyer tells us- AND I WAS LIKE "Kanye, why are you so obsessed with Edward Cullen?"


We are so happy that she confirmed that it will be finsihed someday. And you heard the lady "reverse psychology."


Note to Stephenie:

We don't want that book, it won't be that good anyways!!

Don't ever finish it that book.

We're so over it.

Half complete rocks, screw getting the whole thing.

Who needs it completed anyways...

I'm not that interested in the whole book.

Stephenie Meyer suprises us all again! I love this woman, and cannot WAIT to get this book in my hands!

Surprise!

I have a new book coming out. It's called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Well, it's more of a novella than an actual book—my version of a short story.

Actually, this has been a surprise to me, too. The reason why it's a surprise was that I never intended to publish this story as a stand-alone book. I began this story a long time ago—before Twilight was even released. Back then I was just editing Eclipse, and in the thick of my vampire world. I was thinking a lot about the newborns, imagining their side of the story, and one thing led to another. I started writing from Bree's perspective about those final days, and what it was like to be a newborn.

This story was something that I worked on off and on for a while, just for fun, in between the times I was writing or editing other Twilight novels. Later, when the concept for The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide came up, I thought that might be a good place for Bree. Her story is a nice complement to Eclipse; it explains a lot of the things that Bella never knew. So I dusted it off and finished it up for placement in the Guide.

At the same time, it came in handy for the Eclipse film. Melissa (Rosenberg, the screenwriter) had a ton of questions about what exactly was going on in Seattle, how Victoria managed things, what Riley was like, etc. I let her read what I had then, and later gave the whole thing to the director, David Slade. David asked if Xavier, Bryce, and Jodelle (Riley, Victoria, and Bree) could read it as well, so all the parties involved would end up having a really strong foundation for their characters before the cameras started rolling. I was pleased that this side of the story would make it into the film and was looking forward to including it in the Guide.



(Keeping it confidential: Here is Jodelle next to the bucket of waterlogged ashes that were once the pages of her copy of the Bree manuscript.)

Then I got the news: my "short story" was nearly 200 pages long when typeset. It was too long to fit into the Guide—without ending up with a tome as heavy as the Oxford English Dictionary. My publisher approached me with the idea of releasing the Bree story on its own. One of the major benefits of this plan was that it would be out before the movie, so people would get to know Bree before they saw her in the film. That made sense to me, and we decided to go ahead with it.

There was one thing I asked for: since this story had always been an extra for me, and was meant to be released with the Guide, I wanted to be able to offer it to my fans for free. You all have bought a ton of my books, and I wanted to give you this story as a gift. My publisher was awesome and embraced this idea. We still wanted to also produce a physical book with a cool cover (see below) that you can add to your set if you like, but starting at noon on June 7th until July 5th, it will also be available online at www.breetanner.com.




One other aspect of this release is the plan to give a more important gift to people who really need it. One dollar of each book purchased in the US from the first printing will be donated to the American Red Cross for their relief efforts in Haiti and Chile and other parts of the world where people are in great need. We're going to have an option online as well, so you can choose to make a donation if you want when you read the story online. I hope you will. I think that we can really help a lot of people with this.

I really hope you all enjoy this story. I had a blast writing it. I'm glad that after all this time cooling her heels in my files, Bree finally gets her chance to shine.

Thanks for all the support,

Steph

Here are some highlights:

- Stephenie is working on The Host movie, which was revealed to be in the works several weeks ago.

- She knows exactly what happens to Bella and Edward beyond Breaking Dawn, but she’s not saying – yet.

- She has another fantasy book idea that’s so detailed “she’ll have a map in the front”.

- Right now Stephenie is reading “Everything Matters” by Ron Currie.

- Stephenie still isn’t ready to continue working on Midnight Sun.
