Imagine a hike through the woods with someone you really like but then he tells you his darkest secret that no one else knows. How do you think Bella Swan felt when the love of her life told her that he was a vampire? Stephenie Meyer is an amazing woman, she written many bestselling books and that inspired me to write this essay about her, using Biography Today as a source of information.

Who would have thought that one of the greatest authors ever had grown up like everybody else? Stephenie Meyer was born Stephenie Morgan on December 24th, 1973, in Hartford, Connecticut, four years later her family moved to Arizona.

Stephenie Meyer is the author of the bestselling books The Twilight Saga and The Host. Twilight has an incredible origin. She had a very vivid dream. It concerned two teens conversing in a beautiful meadow, brightly lit by sunlight situated deep within the forest. Despite the beauty of the scene, there was a sense of danger in the air. The boy and the girl were having an intense discussion about the problems they faced because the girl was a human and the boy was a vampire, and they were in love. Many books have been released and there is another one in the works, the official illustrated guide is planned to be released in April of 2011. Sadly one of Stephenie’s friends illegally leaked the book Midnight Sun to the internet; it was centered on Edward Cullen’s point of view. The movies are a huge success and Breaking Dawn is coming out on November 18, 2011 and November 16, 2012. The Host is about aliens that take over the minds of humans.

Stephenie Meyer is an important person, because of her a lot more people love to read. Young readers love the Twilight Saga because there is action and romance. Stephenie Meyer has given society a gift, the gift of a bestselling novel series.
