Stephanie Meyer 'burned out' on vampires?

Stepheniemeyer.jpgWe didn't think we would hear it, but Twilight novelist Stephanie Meyer has admitted she's 'a little burned out on vampires right now' and needs a break.

Meyer, author of the Twilight series which has now sold more than 70m copies across the globe (the latest movie adaptation, New Moon, is released in cinemas on November 20) said on the Oprah Winfrey Show that she had no plans as yet to return to the saga of Bella and Edward. Also, she stated that her next would would most likely be a follow-up to The Host - Meyer's adult book.

Meyer said: "I have another book that's kind of been itching in the back of my brain, that's completely unrelated, totally fantasy. So fantasy it'll have a map in the front - that's always the judge, right?"

And according to the Guardian, Meyer is currently unsure of whether to return to Midnight Sun - a book which tells the Twilight story from Edward's point of view. However, the book was put on hold due to an unfinished draft being leaked online. Said Meyer: "I need to feel alone with something to be able to write it and I do not feel alone with that manuscript at this point. So many people have chimed in on it. I'm over the shock of it but not over the feeling that everyone's involved now, and it doesn't feel like mine so much anymore. I 'm hoping that with a little time, time to write something else, get my head out of it for a while ... it's so clear in my head, I'd like to go back to it."

  • I really hope she gets to finish Midnight Sun. The first draft of it is pretty good, I can only imagine the final product would be amazing!
