Stephenie Meyer's enthusiasm dims for another Twilight book

Posted by Naybeth Díaz | Labels: | Posted On Monday 7 December 2009 at 09:38

Thanks to guardian.co.uk we bring you this:


With sales of more than 70m copies she is the queen of teen vampire romance, but Twilight author Stephenie Meyer has announced that she's "a little burned out on vampires".

Asked on the Oprah Winfrey show if she'd consider writing another book in the Twilight quartet, Meyer said that she had no immediate plans to return to the story of human teenager Bella and her vampire love interest Edward. "I think I need a little break," she said. "I've got to cleanse the palate ... I'm a little burned out on vampires right now."

Her next book, she said, was likely to be a follow-up to her one adult novel The Host – about the invasion of earth by a species which takes over the minds of humans while leaving their bodies intact – which she sees as a trilogy, but it could also be something "completely different". "I have another book that's kind of been itching in the back of my brain, that's completely unrelated, totally fantasy. So fantasy it'll have a map in the front – that's always the judge, right?" she said.

Having envisioned it as a longer series and "know[ing] what happens" to Bella and Edward in the future, Meyer said she "may" come back to the world of Twilight, but "I wrapped up [fourth novel] Breaking Dawn in a way that I felt satisfied with, so if that moment didn't come I'd feel OK".

She's also musing over whether to go back to Midnight Sun, which tells the story of the romance from the perspective of vampire Edward. An unfinished draft was leaked on the internet last year, prompting the author to put the project "on hold indefinitely".

"I need to feel alone with something to be able to write it and I do not feel alone with that manuscript at this point. So many people have chimed in on it," she said. "I'm over the shock of it but not over the feeling that everyone's involved now, and it doesn't feel like mine so much anymore. I 'm hoping that with a little time, time to write something else, get my head out of it for a while ... it's so clear in my head, I'd like to go back to it."

The film of New Moon, the second book in the series, is released this week.

Stephenie on Oprah

We bring you more news about the host and it's trilogy.

As many of you probably heard, Stephenie was on Oprah talking about the release of New Moon. Given all the hype surrounding the movie, I didn't expect The Host to even be mentioned, but it was! [At least in some backstage interviews.]

Meyer says The Host is "kinda [her] favorite thing she's ever done. I see that as a three book series so I'll probably go back into that one again. We're working on the movie right now so I'm sort of spending time with those characters so it's likely so will be my next move..."

She also talks about why she likes The Host more than Twilight! ;)

Thanks to the host novel LiveJournal for the news

Extra chapter to be included in the paperback version of The Host and would it be a trilogy?

Posted by Naybeth Díaz | | Posted On at 09:50


ON November 16th Stephenie did a quick Twilight FAQ session in which a few the host questions came into surface: here are 2 of them that gives us some kind of hope about the release of 2 more books (we assume is the soul and the seeker)

Are you writing any other books right now? - Kershia

One of the weirdest things for me about success is how it sucks away your time. I'm successful because I write books, but that very success takes all my writing time! It's very frustrating. I'm just itching to get back into a fantasy world right now, but the real world won't let me. I thought this would be a writing year, but unless you count emails as writing, it didn't work out that way. I was able to do a few smaller things that will show up here and there—an extra chapter for the release of The Host in paperback, that kind of thing. I've really worked to clear my time, but that is a slow and ongoing process. Of course, another aspect is that I am more burned out by the last five years than I even realized.

Hi Stephenie! :) Of course, I love the Twilight saga, but I was also blown away by how beautiful and unique your other novel, The Host, was -- so I was wondering: do you have any plans for more books not related to Twilight? Thank you so much! :) Kelly <3

I'd like to eventually have The Host be part of a trilogy. That's one of the projects I'd really like to get to in the next year or so.

So as The Host novel Livejournal said:

"
So ...if Stephenie plans to be working on the next book "in a year or so", maybe that means the extra chapter in The Host will be a sneak preview of the next book?!".

According to Amazon this edition will be released on april 13th 2010. let's keep our fingers crossed
