 * Stephenie Meyer **

December 24, 1973 - present

Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in English. She lives with her husband, Pancho, and three young sons, Gabe, Seth, and Eli, in Phoenix, Arizona. After the publication of her first novel, // Twilight //, booksellers chose Stephenie Meyer as one of the "most promising new authors of 2005" (// Publishers Weekly //).

From her books, you can see some of her beliefs and philosophies. For example, in //The Host//, the souls value love above all else. This probably reflects Stephenie's views. As a wife and mother, Stephenie loves her family, and might believe that love can make up for many flaws. Also, another idea in //The Host// is that moderate self-sacrifice is a good thing, but sometimes, the people you're trying to help by making sacrifices don't want you to make the sacrifices. Stephenie probably sacrifices a lot for her family, and they probably think she doesn't need to be so self-sacrificing, so the idea reflected into her book.
