Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer is a re-telling of Meyer's best-selling novel, Twilight, and was written from Edward Cullen's perspective. Stephenie Meyer described Midnight Sun as "an exercise in character development that got wildly out of hand". Midnight Sun was meant to be published as a complimentary novel to Twilight.

In August 2008 a partial draft of the 5th installment of the Twilight Saga, Midnight Sun, was illegally leaked online. Stephenie Meyer, disheartened by this event, abandoned the completion of Midnight Sun indefinitely. Since a draft was already circulating the internet, Stephenie Meyer went ahead and made the Midnight Sun draft available for reading on her website. She does not have any plans at this time to complete and publish the Midnight Sun novel.

"I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being," said Stephenie Meyer in her statement regarding the leak of Midnight Sun. She went on to state, "In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.""http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html"

Stephenie Meyer posted this on her website on September 9, 2009:

"It has come to my attention through several concerned emails that many popular websites like MySpace and Facebook are displaying ads offering a chance to win Midnight Sun. This is a hoax. I would advise against giving out any personal information or even clicking on the links."
