Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer has shared some exciting news with all of her fans via her website -

Hi everybody!

I wanted to apprise you all of a few upcoming things.

You know I’ve been doing the hermit thing this last year, in so far as media is concerned, and I’m not changing that now, but I am making an exception. I’m doing this for a good reason: I am so pleased and amazed and thrilled with what Chris Weitz has done with New Moon that I want to talk about it, and to show my support for him. And since I’m only doing one interview, better make it big. Really big. So….I will be on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday, November 13th. Check the local listings on Oprah’s website to find out what time it will be on where you live.

Of course, most of the questions for Oprah will be designed for a broader audience than just die-hard Twilight fans, and I imagine people who read this site and other fansites will already know most of the answers. To rectify this, I’m going to answer your more specific questions on-line. The official Twilight Saga website (www.TheTwilightSaga.com) will be taking any New Moon movie-related questions you might have for me, and then I’ll answer those most frequently asked. I’ll post the answers on the Twilight Saga website and also here on my own site. Questions can be submitted to TheTwilightSaga.com from noon (Eastern Standard Time) on Monday, November 9th through noon Tuesday, November 10th. The answers will be posted Monday, November 16th—or New Moon Premiere Day, as it is known around my house. (Details about submitting the questions will be posted first thing Monday morning at TheTwilightSaga.com, you can also get more information below.)

I’m so very excited that you’ll all get to see New Moon in just two weeks! Then you’ll see what I’m going on about. Until then, think up some good questions for me.

Love,

Steph

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and most of the remaining members of the New Moon cast were at the New Moon mall tour last night in Los Angeles.

Check out the video over at Radar Online of the cast being introduced–but be warned, there is some major league fangirl squee-ing in the vid at the surprise appearances so watch your volume controls! The excitement is tangible!

Rob, in his charming British accent introduced Chaske Spencer, Jamie Campbell Bower and Alex Meraz and Kellan Lutz. Kristen introduced Cameron Bright, Kiowa Gordon, Bronson Pelletier and Nikki Reed who plays Rosalie. Taylor Lautner introduced Ashley Greene and Elizabeth Reaser. Rob doubled over with laughter when they realized that they had forgotten to bring Billy Burke on stage.

Rob made sure to thank the fans, saying: “”First of all, thanks to you guys,” RPattz said while fans went crazy. “Without you Twilight wouldn’t be anywhere so thanks very much.”

Kristen Stewart thanked Death Cab for Cutie, who played before the cast went on stage along with three other bands from the New Moon Soundtrack–Sea Wolf, Anya Marina and Band of Skulls.

Thank you so much and please give it up for Death Cab for Cutie and all the rest of the bands who made the New Moon soundtrack so cool,” a poised Kristen said to the fans. Death Cab For Cutie, Sea Wolf, Anya Marina and Band of Skulls all performed their songs from the soundtrack for the crowd.

What are you waiting on? Check out the vid at Radar Online!
