It was reported today in the Boston Globe that LDS (Mormon) women, many moms among them, are making their mark in young adult literature – click here.

I found my husband Dan, an LDS bishop, reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I’ve never known him to be interested in young adult fiction, let alone vampires. He only scanned the Harry Potter series to know what his kids were reading. But the Twilight series captured his interest probably because many in his flock are reading it.

Dan took me to see the Twilight movie. I have to say it is probably the first time in our twenty-two year marriage he invited me to see a chick-flick!

It doesn’t surprise me that LDS mom Stephenie Meyer would write a wholesome vampire story. Well, maybe not the wholesome part, but vampires?… they seem scary. So yes, I am surprised about that. But Stephanie’s vampires are so nice that I am ashamed I had held such negative misconceptions of them.

OK, whoa, back to reality.…
