Stephenie Meyer spoke to Variety about Twilight and her new production ventures - including her Shannon Hale adaptation Austenland.
On Twilight Meyer said: I get further away every day. I am so over it. For me, it’s not a happy place to be. [On returning to Twilight] What I would probably do is three paragraphs on my blog saying which of the characters died. I’m interested in spending time in other worlds, like Middle-Earth.
