"[I] concentrate on [training for the Olympics] pretty much every
day. Sometimes just going to work, I'll be thinking about the high jump
and my approach. My husband gets really embarrassed because we're in
the grocery store and I'm doing long jump approaches through the
aisles. And he's like, 'Honey, people are staring.' I say, 'I know,
but that's just my way of focusing.'"

Stephenie Meyer
Author
|
Stephenie Meyer is the author to a young adult novel
entitled TWILIGHT and the soon to be published sequel NEW MOON
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 Stephenie's website: I am also a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints (or Mormon, as we are commonly called—for
more info on what that means, see
www.mormon.org ) and that has a huge influence on who I am and my
perspective on the world, and therefore what I write (though I have been
asked more than once, "What's a nice Mormon girl like you doing writing
about vampires?")

K. L. Morgan
Novelist |
"These stories are full of exciting adventure,
wonderful imagination, and romance. Wholesome books such as these I
recommend to my own children. You'll want to read K.L. Morgan's
Castledance (2001), and Judges of Light (1998). I heartily
endorse them."
