The Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer sees no end to the magical romance between her protagonist Bella Swan and century-old vampire Edward Cullen, and she has two more books in the works.
‘For me, Bella and Edward are frozen where Breaking Dawn ended,’ the 51-year-old YA novelist said on Good Morning America Wednesday.
‘I have other stories outlined that I don’t know if we’ll ever get to. I’ll have somebody, you know, disseminate [my outlines] after my death if I never get around to it. But for me, the stories go on.’
It’s been 20 years since Stephenie made her literary debut with Twilight, which spawned several more books and a $3.3B-grossing five-film franchise that launched the careers of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner.
‘I don’t even know how to process that [milestone],’ Meyer said of the legacy.
‘I wasn’t expecting fans when I started this. To be back here and still have people care, I mean, it’s really, really flattering. But I never expect that to last. It’s bizarre to me.’

The 51-year-old YA novelist said on GMA Wednesday:Â ‘For me, Bella and Edward are frozen where Breaking Dawn ended’
The romance led to a real, on/off four-year relationship between Robert and Kristen, which abruptly ended in 2012 when she was caught kissing her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.
The Twilight novels, novella, and three graphic novels have sold over 160M copies, with translations into 37 different languages.
‘I think I was able to capture just a little bit of what it feels like to fall in love,’ the Mormon mother-of-three reflected.
‘It’s love that’s on its surface kind of doomed. And that’s always exciting. Of course, it ends up happily for them because I am who I am. And I like happy endings.’
Stephenie added: ‘I think a lot of our heroines that we get in books are adventurous. They’re wielding swords and they’re doing daring dos. But Bella is a quiet girl; she reads books. We don’t get a lot of quiet readers as our heroes.’
In 2020, Meyer (born Morgan) published Midnight Sun, which was a retelling of Twilight from the perspective of Edward rather than Bella.
It’s been one year since Netflix greenlit a straight-to-series order for an animated show based on Midnight Sun, which will be produced by Sinead Daly as well as the Connecticut-born, Arizona-raised writer.
Pattinson will next portray Jackson opposite Jennifer Lawrence in Lynne Ramsay’s thriller Die, My Love – which hits US theaters November 7 and UK theaters November 14.
