Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer sat down with Oprah Winfrey yesterday for her only interview during the New Moon whirlwind of interviews. Above are 2 videos from the interview with Stephenie.
In the interview Stephenie discusses how she wrote Twilight, what effect it had on her marriage while writing it, and how happy she is with Kristen and Rob as Bella and Edward. She also reveals a secret to us that her mother is to thank for why New Moon ended the way it did -
Stephenie says there is one secret she’s never revealed before. “There was a different ending to New Moon originally,” she says. “It was a much quieter book. It was very much all in Bella’s head.”
Stephenie says fans have her mother to thank for New Moon’s current dramatic ending. “My mom’s like: ‘You know, Stephenie, maybe a little more action at the end would be a good idea. Maybe you need that,’” Stephenie says. “And she was right, as usual.”
Her mother’s suggestion prompted Stephenie to introduce the Volturi, an all-powerful coven of vampires living in Italy, sooner than she’d planned. “That’s kind of my favorite part now, and it’s there because my mom told me it would be better that way.”
Thank you Stephenie’s Mom! You can read the rest of the write up from Oprah here.
There is also another video of Stephenie on Oprah’s website. Where she discusses writing more novels for the Twilight Saga. Saying that Bella and Edward’s story after Breaking Dawn is in her head, and she knows how it plays out. However, she isn’t sure if she’ll continue that story or not, as she needs a break from Vampires. And would like to write 2 more The Host books. They do ask about Midnight Sun. Stephenie is very tight lipped saying that she still isn’t sure if she’ll finish it.You can watch the video here!
