Stephenie Meyer

Biography

I was born in Connecticut in 1973, during a brief blip in my family's otherwise western U.

existence.

We were settled in Phoenix by the time I was four, and I think of myself as a native.

The unusual spelling of my name was a gift from my father, Stephen (+ ie = me).

Though I have had my name spelled wrong on pretty much everything my entire life long, I must admit that it makes it easier to Google myself now.

I filled the "Jan Brady" spot in my family--the second of three girls; however, unlike the Bradys, none of my three brothers are steps, and all of them are younger than all the girls.

I went to high school in Scottsdale, Arizona, the kind of place where every fall a few girls would come back to school with new noses and there were Porsches in the student lot.

(For the record, I have my original nose and never had a car until I was in my twenties.

) I was awarded a National Merit Scholarship, and I used it to pay my way to Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah.

I majored in English but concentrated on literature rather than creative writing, mostly because I didn't consider reading books "work.

" (As long as I was going to be doing something anyway, I might as well get course credit for it, right?)I met my husband, Pancho (his real name is Christiaan), when I was four, but we were never anywhere close to being childhood sweethearts; in fact, though we saw each other at least weekly through church activities, I can't recall a single instance when we so much as greeted each other with a friendly wave, let alone exchanged actual words.

This may have been for the best, because when we did eventually get around to exchanging words, sixteen years after our first meeting, it only took nine months from the first "hello" to the wedding; of course, we were able to skip over a lot of the getting-to-know you parts.

(Many of our conversations would go something like this: "This one time, when I was ten, I broke my hand at a party when--" "Yeah.

I know what happened.

I was there, remember?") We've been married for ten-and-a-half years now and have three beautiful, brilliant, wonderful boys who often remind me of chimpanzees on crack.

I can't write without music, and my biggest muse is, ironically enough, the band Muse.

My other favorite sources of inspiration are Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Coldplay, The All American Rejects, Travis, The Strokes, Brand New, U2, Kasabian, Jimmy Eat World, and Weezer, to mention a few.

  • And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…" he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
  • Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason.
  • The bond forged between us was not one that could be broken by absence, distance, or time. And no matter how much more special or beautiful or brilliant or perfect than me he might be, he was as irreversibly altered as I was.
  • Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you,You are my life now.
