Stephenie Meyer will be signing books this year in Forks. From her website:

Hello friends and readers,

On October 5th, a decade will have passed since Twilight was first published. An entire decade—crazy! I feel like this calls for some kind of celebration.

As they’ve done for the past eight years, the town of Forks, Washington is celebrating Twilight with their annual Forever Twilight in Forks festival. I’m thrilled to announce that this year I will be in Forks on Saturday, September 12th to sign books!

There will be more details to come with instructions on how you can register (it’s free and open to everyone!), so check back on my blog. And for those of you who can’t make it but wish you could, we’ve got something for you. Two very cool BookTubers, Kat from Katytastic and Sasha from ABookutopia, will be with me in Forks to sit down and discuss all things Twilight plus cover the weekend’s events so you won’t miss them.

I hope to see you in Forks!

And now a note from the social media experts:

Original Bella’s Engagement Ring® —-Last Chance to Get One!

April 25, 2015

Infinite Jewelry, the company the produced the Bella’s ring and the Bella’s bracelet before there were ever Twilight movies is having a blowout sale. Act quick, because they won’t be producing this ring after mid-May 2015.

On a personal note, we always through their rings (which come in yellow or white gold) were far superior to anything else out there. You can get them in with cubic zirconia and gold plate all the way up to real diamonds and 14K gold.

We own their products and wear them today. They are still in great shape almost 8 years after we first received them. Their rings weren’t too large, and frankly they didn’t look like a disc that was getting satellite reception, unlike the mass produced version that came out along with a myriad of other products with the movies.

Here is an image from a side-by-side comparison we did of the infinite jewelry vs. the mass produced products back in 2010.

Check out Infinite Jewelry’s press release below.

The original, authorized Bella’s Engagement Ring®, designed in collaboration with Stephenie Meyer and produced by Infinite Jewelry Co.® since 2007, will no longer be available after May 12, 2015. Infinite Jewelry Co.® announced today that the contracted time is up, so the reign of this exclusive ring is coming to a close.

“From providing rings on the The Oprah Winfrey Show to being featured on Yahoo! News, we have loved being a part of the Twilight world for the last eight years,” said Shelli Ashton, president of Infinite Jewelry Co.® “Bella’s Engagement Ring® gave fans a tangible connection to the books’ characters everyone loves so much. We feel blessed that we’ve had the opportunity to share our passion for Twilight with people all over the world.”

To celebrate the end of the era and to give Twilight fans a final chance to own this limited collectible, Infinite Jewelry Co.® is holding an epic sale, with lowest prices ever, until May 12, 2015. Now is the time to get your part of Twilight history with the original, authorized Bella’s Engagement Ring®. It is available in both fashion and fine-jewelry (14K gold) versions and can be found on the company’s website at http://www.infinitejewelryco.com.

Twilight Storytellers Finalists Announced

April 2, 2015

Check out this special video message from the finalists of the Twilight Storytellers contest.

Stephenie Meyer also included a special message:

When we first began discussing ideas for “The Storytellers — New Voices of The Twilight Saga,” we expected that we would see great things; I knew that both within the Twilight fandom and within the female filmmaking community there was great talent. In reality, the incredible offering of creativity and skill that we’ve seen has exceeded all our expectations, from the screenplay outlines to the screenplays themselves and now the Director’s pitches. We had an extremely difficult task narrowing the choices down to just five directors—the task actually turned out to be impossible. We were not able to narrow it down to five finalists. We had to go with SIX.

I’m thrilled to announce our six winning Directors for “The Storytellers — New Voices of The Twilight Saga” presented by Volvo Cars US. Here they are (in no particular order):

Kailey & Sam Spear for The Mary Alice Brandon File
Maja Fernqvist for Consumed
Lindsey Hancock Williamson for Turncoats
Amanda Tasse for Sunrise
Nicole Eckenroad for the Groundskeeper
Yulin Kuang for We’ve Met Before

Congratulations to each of you! It has been amazing to see your fantastic pitches and hear the excitement you have for visually retelling these stories. All of us involved in this contest, both judges and fans, cannot wait to see your realized visions.

For those of you who were not chosen, please know that it was a bitter thing to have to pass on your pitches. There were so many fascinating viewpoints we badly wanted to experience in their final form. We would like to encourage you to participate as a Wild Card entry, and show us your vision. You could still win the big prize. To paraphrase Principal Skinner, “Prove us wrong, kids. Prove us wrong.”

I’d also like to thank all of the fans who have been engaging and participating along the way. You guys are the best. And this leads me to my next exciting announcement…

The most important part of the Twilight universe has always been its fans. We want to give you a chance to be even more involved in The Storytellers contest. We will be picking Fan Correspondents to cover the filming of the short films from a Twilight fan’s perspective! That means we need you! To learn more about how you can be involved go to http://bit.ly/TwilightFan, for full rules and details. We’ll see you on set!

RIP-John Henson-Twilight Costume Collector

March 16, 2015

Many of you may remember John Henson. He had a wonderful collection of both some original Twilight costumes as well as replicas with off the charts detailing.

John also designed many of the costumes for the Hillywood Twilight Parody videos (he’s got a cameo in several of the videos see screen caps below), as well as for some of the Olympic Coven that have appeared at Stephenie Meyer Day in Forks.

He had a love of all things Twilight. Here is a snippet from a 2010 interview we did with John:

Which of the original costumes that you have is your favorite and why?
By far it’s Cam Gigandet’s “James” costume. I remember Stephenie saying that she was surprised that people were fans of James. “Team James” and all. How can you not be after you see Cam portray him?! It’s just such a neat story behind the costume, too. The jacket is an old 1940’s motorcycle jacket that belonged to Catherine Hardwicke. There was only one. They had to film all of Wayland’s scenes in it before it was distressed for James. And if you look carefully on his jacket and jeans, there are momento’s from all of his kills. The creeper even stole wedding bands and engagement rings to wear as trophies! SICK! The jeans still have mud caked on the bottom of them. I find that kind of stuff really cool!

John passed away this weekend and he will be missed. Of my many encounters with John, the one about Jacob’s arm is my favorite. As I was setting up my camera gear to cover the Remember Me red carpet in New York City in pouring rain after a big snowfall (think the slush from hell) I get a call from John. John is all ramped up, yelling that the arm is all wrong (those of you that knew John will have no trouble understanding this). Actually it came out more like this , “Arms, arms, details, just unreal, eye for details”, and I had to decode that over screaming fans and the NYC traffic in Grand Army Plaza.

The long and short of it is, I finally got John to talk in full sentences in English and discovered that he noticed the tattoo on the Jacob Barbie was all wrong, and that dolls with the “bad arm” might be collectors items. He asked if I would post the information. I said sure, that I would do it when I got home…after I ran across the street to FAO Schwartz and bought the last Jacob Barbie they had.

Anyway here is the original Jacob’s arm story, and here is a link to our other encounters with John.

You will be missed John!
