I do not care for her books either. I just found it odd that this is her subject matter, since she is so popular right now.

I don't find it odd. IMO it's just a weird way of 'making nice' or if the word about psychopaths really "hit the fan" and it was an everyday reality for all of us then you could go back to sleep by thinking; "Maybe, if just maybe we could live together or even benefit from each other..." As if!

What caught my attention was when I saw her in an interview a while back. In this interview she said she had no interest in the horror genre prior to writing the books. What stuck out in particular was when she said she got the idea from a dream she had:
_http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1734838,00.html

Five years ago, on the night of June 1, 2003, a Phoenix housewife named Stephenie Meyer had a dream: a young woman was talking to a beautiful, sparkling man in a sunlit meadow. The man was a vampire. They were in love, and he was telling the girl how hard it was for him to keep from killing her.

Meyer had not written anything much before then. Her main creative outlets were scrapbooking and making elaborate Halloween costumes. But the dream was so vivid that she absolutely had to write it down.

In the video interview, she said the dream she had was so vivid that when it came time to choose the lead for the movie, the character in the dream looked almost exactly like the guy who now plays him. This was one of the reasons he was chosen. Here's more from the Time piece:

Becoming Stephenie Meyer

Meyer wrote twilight in three months flat. "I know to the day when I became a writer," she says. "One day. Which is cool." Once she'd had the dream, she wrote like a woman struck by lightning, barely sleeping, typing one-handed with a baby in her lap.

Sounds a bit like Thor's Pantheum to me:

http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/stargate.htm

What is of most compelling interest is the information on Andrija Puharich and the possibility that there was a "program" in effect for a long time designed to teach very psychic kids to learn to "project" thoughts into the minds of others so as to convince them that they were channeling extraterrestrials. This is also something of which we are aware, only it was very recently that we were apprised of Puharich's possible role in such activity. The Cassiopaeans very clearly told us that there was an "army of psychic projectors" which they designated as "Thor's Pantheum," which was being used to influence individuals in positions of power and in the creative arts so as to have them produce books, movies, television shows and series - all with an agenda in mind: the same agenda identified by Picknett and Prince.

P & P go on to describe their research findings - how various channels, researchers, writers, and other individuals of some influence in the subject - have had CIA connections, and all seem to circle around the same "circle." Circles within circles indeed! And quite a few of them have impinged on our lives as well - generally quite negatively. For a long time, we thought it was simply because we were "strange" and involved with such an "off the wall" thing as channeling. Now we realize that most of them were also involved with channeled messages - of a very different sort. And it is most definitely clear after reading the excerpts of some of this material as dug up by P & P, as well as learning about the backgrounds and connections of these individuals, why our work has been marginalized and discounted by these very same people with their own "channeled" agenda.

At a C's session of August 1, 2001, the following exchange took place:

Q: (One of our egroup members) has been reading some channeled material that suggests that this planet is a breeding ground for aliens, and the life cycle of the aliens, as in the reptilians or whatever, may mimic something like a preying mantis. This material also alludes to the suggestion that the underground of the earth is kind of a dormant stage for the female and that it is the male that is returning, or that does return at the end of each epoch, and that the focus of this appears to be the Great Pyramid. Is the earth a breeding ground for some kind of aliens as suggested in this passage?
A: No.
Q: So, this stuff is just another diversionary channeled message designed to keep people confused. It looks like the guy has made up messages out of our worst nightmares, putting the worst possible spin on it imaginable. So, we can forget this idea?
A: Yes.
Q: What is the source of this kind of material? What kind of energy is behind it?
A: STS mind control signal.
Q: What is it designed to do?
A: Reach those that are programmed to receive.
Q: Let me ask you this: if some of these STS programming signals that are going out, I mean, I'm assuming some of them come from 3rd density, is that correct?
A: Yes.
Q: Do they actually have, like, some place on the planet where these guys sit around and read science fiction books and get these really crazy theories and stories that they assemble with some sort of fiendish glee, and then convert them via computer into the programming signal code that gets beamed out into people's heads, while the guys who are making up all the space brothers scenarios in some secret military base or whatever, just fall down on the floor laughing at what they have just done? That people will believe anything? Is this possibly something that is going on?
A: Yes.
Q: That's sick. (A) Well, if you had their agenda, wouldn't you do it? (L) If I was as sick as those puppies, and had the money and facilities, yeah - I guess that's what they are doing. They have probably taken whole H. P. Lovecraft novels, converted them to programming signals, and beamed 'em out for the New Age crowd to channel and believe! And then they say "My God! The space brothers or guardian alliance told me! It's just like Lovecraft said! He must have been a prophet! Oh my God! Can you imagine?" (A) But it works. (L) It sure does.(A) You see, what this guy R___ is telling us about, the musician who is working on laser light shows in conjunction with certain music, is that it is capable of inducing prolonged altered states of consciousness, and that it will be used for massive, grand scale programming via the entertainment arts. He's telling us about another phase of the program. And it's coming pretty soon, according to him.

This is interesting. The first book I ever read like this...a book that a person was compelled to write, having no prior skill at it, was a book called "Living is Forever" by J Edwin Carter.

Its one of those "the aliens are our buddies" books, putting them in a good light after a series of cataclysms destroy civilization. Just enough truth in it to make you wonder, but for me not enough to swallow it all. At that time I was reading a lot of Mary Summer Rain books, and it was one she recommended. Sad, really. It didn't bring the same intense dislike as the books by S Meyers though.

Why? I think it may be the clumsy way Meyers writes. Carters writing is more detached, and at the same time more human and less hormone soaked.

John Keel, in Eight Tower, I think, mentioned about people being driven by interdimentional tricksters to write books like this that subsequently ruined their lives. It might be different for Meyer, though. Maybe she is more similar to Anne Rice.

I kept wondering where I saw this interview as I have no interest in Meyer. Finally through some searching on another website, I realized it was on Oprah. Here's what she had to say about her choice for Edward:
_http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/b153786_twilight__mastermind_stephenie_meyer.html

The usually press-shy author who gave life to Bella, Edward, Jacob and a billion-dollar media phenomenon told Oprah Winfrey today that R.Pattz and his unique and "significantly featured" face brought her visions of Edward to life.

"I knew that the problem was going to be Edward, because he's the perfect vampire," Meyer said in what will be her only formal interview before New Moon hits theaters Nov. 20. "How do you cast that from your pool of human actors?"

But Pattinson "doesn't look like everybody else," she said. "There's something unusual. There are moments where he looks exactly like he did in my head."

Interesting indeed.

Yeah, that's what was running through my mind while reading how Meyer "became" a writer. Creepy.

And I can see how this could be programming women to love the quiet, mysterious, cold man all the more for these books, thinking that they can "tame" him and change him. Seems like breeding for more psychopaths is on the agenda. Or, men will try to emulate these cold characters in order to "get the chicks" and become more psychopathic themselves.

Like I said, interesting - and creepy.

To save you the trouble of reading Twilight, I've included all the best quotes below!

"He lay perfectly still in the grass, his shirt open over his sculpted, incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare."

"He was both dazzling and dazzled."

"Sleep, my Bella. Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep, my only love."

"Bring on the shackles, I'm your slave."

"His liquid topaz eyes were penetrating — trying futilely, I assumed, to lift the truth straight from my mind."

"And I couldn’t stop the gloom that engulfed me as I realized I didn’t know how long I would have to wait before I saw him again."

"His voice was like melting honey. I could imagine how much more overwhelming his eyes would be."

This makes The Da Vinci Code look well-written.
