作者簡介

史蒂芬妮．梅爾　Stephenie Meyer

　　1973年出生於美國康乃迪克州，畢業於楊百翰大學（Brigham Young University），主修英國文學。她於1994年結婚走入家庭，但並沒有因此放棄寫作的興趣，2003年她開始構思吸血鬼浪漫愛情故事，並於2005年完成《暮光之城》（TWILIGHT）。目前她與丈夫以及三個年幼的兒子住在亞歷桑那州鳳凰城。

　　史蒂芬妮的文筆渾然天成，首部長篇小說《暮光之城》（TWILIGHT），可說是青少年校園喜劇類型的YA小說經典作品，甫出版便立刻讓她躋身家喻戶曉的暢銷作家，「紐約時報評主編精選」評選該作為年度最佳小說之一，同時也入選了美國圖書館協會「十大青少年優良讀物」，她更被譽為「2005年最佳作家新秀」。

　　Stephenie Meyer's life changed dramatically on June 2, 2003. The stay-at-home mother of three young sons woke-up from a dream featuring seemingly real characters that she could not get out of her head. "Though I had a million things to do (i.e. making breakfast for hungry children, dressing and changing the diapers of said children, finding the swimsuits that no one ever puts away in the right place), I stayed in bed, thinking about the dream. Unwillingly, I eventually got up and did the immediate necessities, and then put everything that I possibly could on the back burner and sat down at the computer to write--something I hadn't done in so long that I wondered why I was bothering." Meyer invented the plot during the day through swim lessons and potty training, then writing it out late at night when the house was quiet. Three months later she finished her first novel, Twilight.

　　Twilight was one of 2005's most talked about novels and within weeks of its release the book debuted at #5 on The New York Times bestseller list.Among its many accolades, Twilight was named an "ALA Top Ten Books for Young Adults," an Amazon.com "Best Book of the Decade&So Far", and a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year. The movie version of Twilight was released by Summit Entertainment nationwide on November 21, 2008, starring Kristen Stewart ("Into The Wild") and Robert Pattinson ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire").

　　The highly-anticipated sequel, New Moon, was released in September 2006 and spent 31 weeks at the #1 position on The New York Times bestseller list. Eclipse, the third book in Meyer's Twilight saga, was released on August 7, 2007 and sold 150,000 copies its first day on-sale. The book debuted at #1 bestseller lists across the country, including USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. The fourth and final book in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, was published on August 2, 2008, with a first printing of 3.2 million copies - the largest first printing in the publisher's history. Breaking Dawn sold 1.3 million copies its first day on-sale rocketing the title to #1 on bestseller lists nationwide.

　　Meyer's highly-anticipated debut for novel adults, The Host, was released by Little, Brown and Company in May 2008 and debuted at #1 on The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.

　　Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English Literature. She lives in Arizona with her husband and sons.
