Tween girls should feel free to preemptively start screaming. Stephenie Meyer told Oprah's people that she might consider writing a fifth book in the Twilight series. Oprah scored the only interview with Meyer to occur before the release of the film of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second in the four-book series about teen vampires with penetrating gazes. After the interview, Oprah's people pressed Meyer backstage about whether she'd consider writing a fifth installment. Meyer said: "I can't answer it. The way I write, it's what makes me happy. Like, I can't write when people are looking over my shoulder." She added, "I am a little burned out on vampires right now. I think I need a little break. I might go spend some time with my aliens... I may come back to [Twilight]. I did envision a longer series. But I wrapped Breaking Dawn in a way that I felt satisfied with, so if that moment didn't come, I'd be OK." (The Scoop)
