When the first book of the Twilight series was released in October 2005, no one could have guessed the phenomenon it would become. Four years later, 70 million copies have been sold worldwide. The books have spent 143 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, and the first movie in The Twilight Saga grossed $380 million at the box office.The story, a love triangle between a vampire, a human and a werewolf, has ignited an international frenzy, and the woman behind it all is 35-year-old author Stephenie Meyer.

"It really captured my imagination." That dream became Chapter 13 of Twilight. Click here to read the rest
