Summary

In 2003, Stephenie Meyer had a dream about a vampire and a girl who were in love. When she started writing down the tale the next morning, she had no idea that it would make her the Cinderella of the young-adult publishing world by the end of that year. Meyer's debut novel, Twilight, set in modern-day Forks, Washington, combined the feel of a romantic Victorian novel with contemporary sensibilities to become an overnight best seller. Now, with millions of copies of the Twilight series sold worldwide and translations in more than three-dozen languages, there is no disputing Meyer's popularity among teens and adults alike. Learn about her meteoric rise to literary superstardom in Stephenie Meyer. Book jacket.

Meyer's debut novel, Twilight, set in modern-day Forks, Washington, has a romantic Victorian-novel feel and became an overnight best seller, making the stay-at-home mother a publishing sensation. With millions of copies of the series sold worldwide and translations in more than three-dozen languages, there is no disputing Meyer's popularity among teens and adults alike.
