Internet Leak Caused US Author to Stop Writing

Stephenie Meyer, an American author famous for Twilight and The Host, has decided to cease writing a book series following the leak of its final installment. An unfinished version of her book, Midnight Sun appeared online, including typos and incomplete passages. Meyer was quite enraged with the leak that she dumped the entire project even at its final stages.


She was also almost done writing a possible sequel to The Host, entitled The Soul.  If she were to continue the series, the third book would have been called The Seeker.  Meyer even previously mentioned having several other book ideas on file, including a ghost story titled Summer House and a novel involving time travel, as well as another about mermaids. Unfortunately, Meyer's fans won't be able to read all these.



Meyer stated in her website, "I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Unfortunately, with the internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest."
