Stephenie Meyer

Trust that unexpected thrills still await.

Meyer says she fought long and hard before her publisher agreed to a fourth book in the series.

Little, Brown for Young Readers originally paid the author $750,000 for a three-book deal.

But her publisher was nervous about shelling out another chunk of change for an unproven author.

My books werent out yet, she says.

Nobody cared about me.

I was just this little author they were taking a chance on.

Eventually, Meyer prevailed, selling the fourth book for $400,000.

Lucky Little, Brown.Breaking Dawnis expected to go down as the biggest book of the summer.
