Stephanie Meyer Says Two More 'Twilight' Books Are Coming

Twilight author Stephanie Meyer has revealed she has "at least" two more books in the works following the success of her latest instalment in the saga: Midnight Sun.

Speaking at a promotional event for the most recent addition to her vampire book series, the author said: "There are two more books I think in the world that I want to write.

"I have got them outlined and a chapter written I think of the first one, so I know it's there."

While we can hardly wait to read them, Stephanie added that, unfortunately, the two books weren't coming in the imminent future.

"I am not ready to do that right now," she said. "I want to do something brand new."

The announcement comes after the monumental success of Midnight Sun, which sold more than 1 million copies during its first week in circulation.

Midnight Sun was actually written in 2008, but she set it aside after 12 chapters were leaked early.

However, now she has finally released the completed novel on August 4th - and fans are already loving it.

The novel switches things up, telling the story from Edward Cullen's perspective, instead of his human-turned-vampire lover, Bella Swan's.

Since the first Twilight book was released in 2005, Stephenie's work shot to fame, with the author going on to release a further three - New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

The books sold over 100 million copies worldwide and were also adapted into films starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, with Breaking Dawn being split into two parts.

The end of the Breaking Dawn book (played out in the movie, Breaking Dawn: Part Two) sees the Volturi go after the Cullens because they believe Renesmee (Bella and Edward's daughter) is an immortal child.

Alice and Jasper try to prove Renesmee isn't a threat by presenting the Volturi with a 150-year-old half vampire half human, Nahuel.

The Volturi agree to back down, however in the film version, Alice shares one of her visions with Volturi leader, Aro which sees a dramatic and bloody battle between the Cullens and the Volturi.

Aro realised the Volturi will not win, and backs down before the vision can play out for real.

One of the most successful film sagas of all time, starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, the movies grossed $3.3 billion (£2.6 billion) in ticket sales.

Here's hoping new Twilight books mean new movies, too! Reckon R. Patz and Kristen would be down?!
