Stephanie Meyer to continue "Twilight" with new four-book series? (SPOILERS)

Guys, I came across this tonight and just HAD to share it with everyone. Word has just dropped that Stephanie Meyer, the author of the "Twilight" series, will announce soon that she plans to release four more books in the "Twilight" series over the next four years. The first book, "Midnight Sun" , is the completed work that was so infamously leaked in 2008, in which the original events from the first book are retold through the eyes of Edward Cullen, the vampiric soulmate of Bella Swan. ( Source ). " Writing chapter one, "First Sight," from Edward's point of view was an exciting experience; I actually had my pulse racing as I typed. When I finished, I was truly pleased with my creation. Here was the other side of the story that no one knew. Here was the truth of what Edward had been through." The next book, previously unannounced, will be titled "White Nights" , and will pick up the story of the Cullen's a

Book Review-Noah Zarc: Mammoth Trouble By: D. Robert Pease

I've decided to do something a little different for my review of Noah Zarc: Mammoth Trouble. As this book is geared towards readers in the Middle School Grade level, I decided to see if my 10 year old son Skyler (Grade 6) would like to offer up his views on it as well.

Why Science Fiction and the pursuit of truth is more important than the study of historical fact.

Sometimes when I am bordering on exhaustion my mind finds itself in strange places. Tonight I find myself looking back on the past few novels I have read, and several have been by authors such as Robert Harris and Jeffrey Archer, though I suppose the same principles can be applied to all Historical Fiction. I couldn't help but be struck by the stodginess of many of the books, and kept picturing this old professor mocking new thinking on the past as incongruous to the historical record, and at the same time jesting at the uselessness of science fiction as little more than a diversion. This fictional creation, likely a caricature fed by exhaustion and irritation, is likely a conceptual mashup of people I come across in my day to day life that do not share my views on Science Fiction. But as they are entitled to their opinions and I am entitled to mine, I shall exercise that right here on my blog to purge the irritation and hopefully find meaningful sleep.
