Seth updated Stephenies website today: 

  • The announcement is that Twilight Teez has posted the designs of the shirts from the Character Slogan Contest that we had on our site a few months ago. They are available for purchase.
  • Many people have asked about Eclipse Special Edition. As we have already posted, the difference is that it will contain both the cover art and the first chapter of Breaking Dawn, both of which will be revealed for the first time when the special edition is released on May 31, 2008.
  • I do not have information about release dates in any other countries other than the United States. If I ever hear about any, I will post them on the calendar page. 

**Thanks to Kellie

Stephenie’s new blog!

Today Stephenie Meyer blogged on her myspace page clearing up the Breaking Dawn book confusion, among other things:

 ”I’ve gotten a lot of questions on my comments page and in messages about Breaking Dawn and other Twilight Saga novels. Hopefully this will help: 

1) Breaking Dawn is in the editing phase. It it tentatively set for release Fall 2008. It could be later if we hit a snag in editing. Usually editing takes longer than a few months, but both I and my editors will be putting in lots of overtime to make this happen.

2) Midnight Sun is only half-written. It will not be coming out until a while after it’s finished. Don’t expect it anytime soon. I will let you know when the rough draft is finished, and then you can start asking when it is due out. I don’t foresee much chance to work on it until Breaking Dawn is completely finished.

3) Forever Dawn (the early, poorly written sequel to Twilight) is not the “steamy” version of Breaking Dawn; I don’t know how that rumor got started. Forever Dawn is not adult as in “XXX.” It is adult as in “not written exclusively for a young adult audience, much like Pride and Prejudice or Gone With the Wind.” There is no steam in Forever Dawn that is not also in Breaking Dawn, so please stop begging me for the “ooh la la” version. It does not exist. I may put some small excerpts of Forever Dawn on my website after Breaking Dawn comes out, but then again, maybe not. It’s not that great. All the best stuff is in Breaking Dawn.New topic: the Twilight movie

I do not have any casting updates. I haven’t heard anything since the Robert Pattinson announcement. I’m waiting on the same pins and needles you all are. When I get home from vacation, I’ll see if I can get some news.”

 
So as we’ve said before Breaking Dawn = fall 2008. [Thanks Stephenie for clearing that up]
