While talking about her decision to announce the coronavirus pandemic, Stephenie Meyer said that it is surely a “crazy time”. However, she was unsure about making the announcement. She added that many fans have been waiting for this book for a long time and hence, it would be unfair if she had to push the announcement even further.

Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun will be re-telling the story of Twilight but this time it will be from Edward Cullen’s perspective instead of Bella Swan’s. The author was all set to release the book in 2008 but a manuscript of her book was leaked on the internet. She then posted a partial rough draft but never released the entire book.
