A New Twilight Book Is Coming Soon
Twilight fans, your time is here.
Author Stephenie Meyer has announced she is releasing a new installment in the popular series over ten years after the publication of the last of the novels. Meyer will be publishing Midnight Sun, a retelling of the series from Edward Cullen’s perspective, 12 years after she abandoned the manuscript following an online leak.

Meyer had previously fueled speculation among fans with a countdown on her website leading up to Monday's announcement. When the manuscript for Midnight Sun was first leaked in 2008, Meyer called it "a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being." She had shared a partial rough draft of the book on her website, but never released a completed story.
In a statement to GMA about the upcoming release of the book, Meyer said, "I hope this book gives my readers a little pleasure to anticipate and, if it arrives, a chance to live in an imaginary world for a while. I can’t express how much I appreciate the patience of my readers, and their support over the years it took to finish Midnight Sun."
