Stephanie Meyer

Stephanie Meyer, born on 12/24/73, is the author of the famed series 'Twilight.' Abruptly waking up from a dream one night, Meyer was so flabbergasted by the content within in her dream, that she decided to write it down. She became so inspired and eventually wrote the 'Twilight' series.

About Stephanie Meyer

Born: Stephenie Morgan, December 24, 1973, Hartford, Connecticut
Known for: Authoring the best-selling 'Twilight' series

Stephenie has authored other novels, such as 'The Host', but the four novels in the 'Twilight' series have become a phenomena among teen readers. All four books, 'Twilight', 'New Moon', 'Eclipse', and 'Breaking Dawn' have all topped the best selling lists. Amazon.com listed her as the second best-selling author of the decade, falling second to J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series.

Meyer is one of five siblings and was born in Hartford, Connecticut to Stephen and Candy Morgan. However, she grew up in Arizona and attended college at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah. She is a strict Morman and follows the teachings of the church very closely. She is married to Christian Meyer, who goes by the nickname Pancho, and together they have three sons: Gabe, Seth, an Eli. The family resides in Arizona.

Meyer has received both positive feedback, as well as negative criticism. Although Stephen King has said that he thinks she is a terrible writer, he has also given her credit saying, people are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it's very clear that she's writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It's exciting and it's thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because it's not overtly sexual. Feminists have stated that Bella paints a picture of a dependent and needy woman whose life revolves around a man. Meyer's argument is that her character has choices and her weaknesses merely stem from her humanity.

Stephenie has received praise from many different sources. From Entertainment Weekly to Forbes, she is making a major impact on the literary world. Tymon Smith of The Times said that she is the superstar of young adult fiction. Times Magazine listed her on the 2008 list of most influential people. Although she has created a teen frenzy with her novels, adults are enamored with the books also. The books are centered around star-crossed lovers, Bella, a human, and Edward, a vampire. In the film adaptation of the books, Kristen Stewart portrays Bella and Robert Pattinson portrays Edward.
