Meyer has been crazy about writing since she was young. She got her first lesson in story-telling from
grandfather, who gave her words of love. He set off her imagination and influenced her much. Meyer always had stories running
her head and as soon as she could write, she put them down on paper.
Meyer
remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, February 18th, when the
rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent (代理) to whom she had sent a copy of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Meyer some
information, like age and health condition. Meyer felt

, and it has changed her life
. Meyer is very confident that she will enjoy a more successful and meaningful life as long as she keeps on with her dream.
