Guardian.co.uk has done an article on Stephenie Meyer’s religion and how it affects her writing.  It’s a great article so don’t miss it!

“The intersection of vampirism and Mormonism has caused some comment among other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ‘Some Mormons, especially those who know me, are surprised by my choice of topics,’ she told the Mormon arts and culture website motleyvision.com. ‘”Vampires?” they say, with a critical lilt to their voices. Then they add self-righteously, “I don’t read those kinds of books.” I hasten to explain to them that it’s not like that. Unconsciously, I put a lot of my basic beliefs into the story. Free agency is a big theme, as is sacrifice … Even after I explain all that, I still have LDS friends and extended family who look at me funny.”
