Look at the front page of Life, section D, in USA Today (Thursday, August 7, 2008).

There you see her.

Stephenie Meyer

I started thinking about her writings last year in August.

Then I read her first book.  Her vampire hero does not like Protestant ministers or their God.

So what do I say?

I guess it pays in America to write about young ladies falling in love with godlike males, becoming godlike, living an eternal marriage, and having godlike babies.
