If you haven’t seen it, Stephenie Meyer had a great interview on Oprah today. Here is a little portion from the written article, where SM reveals the original ending to New Moon!

Though Twi-hards, as fans are called, know most everything about the series, 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.”

In the video clip Stephenie discusses Book 5 in the Twilight series and Edward and Bella’s future.  You have to check it out.  Do you think there will ever be another story written?  Cross your fingers?

I wonder if Kitty Kelley saw that episode.
Basically she wanted us to do was to talk about the sensationalist aspects of our abuse. We had met the night before and decided not to go along with it. She was so angry that she fired the producer. She was a shrew. Se acted lie someone with SEVERE PMS.
A few years later she did a huge simulcast about child molestation. It was broadcast on ALL the networks and major radio stations. I was connected to National Center for Missing and Exploited Children as well as ChildHelp. It was a disaster. I was told here were NO counsellers on hand for people who were upset and triggered by her show. It was a disaster. All the money she has and she didn’t provide follow-up help for abused people…
