With all the hype and saturation of New Moon press coverage, not to be forgotten is the origination of the entire Twilight Saga- the young adult book series by stay-at-home mom turned overnight success, Stephenie Meyer, who recently informed fans on her website that she’ll be emerging from her protective shell briefly, for a stint on Oprah:
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 fan sites 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.
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.)
In other Stephenie Meyer news, Bluewater Productions announced that the Stephenie Meyer comic-book biography will be available November 11. Written by Ryan Burton, this bio targets multi-generational readers.
About the book, Bluewater says:
The Los Angeles Times says “It is Interesting…Dramatic Art…If you are into Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight wave, you’ll probably want to get this book…”
The monthly comic book series, launched earlier this year, has drawn considerable media attention, including features on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and “Live with Regis and Kelly.” It has also been featured in such periodicals as People Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today and thousands of blogs and other media outlets.
The suggested retail price (SRP) for the upcoming trade paperback is $3.99 for the standard 22-page version and $6.99 for the 40-page collector’s edition. The ISBN for the graphic novel is: 978-1427641847.
