Stephenie Meyer Changes Genres
Stephenie Meyer will release her second novel for adults this fall, a thriller starring a female secret-agent, The Chemist (Hachette/Little, Brown on November 15).
The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and USA Today are all reporting the story based on a press release.
As quoted in the WSJ Meyer says:
“The Chemist is the love child created from the union of my romantic sensibilities and my obsession with Jason Bourne/Aaron Cross … I very much enjoyed spending time with a different kind of action hero, one whose primary weapon isn’t a gun or a knife or bulging muscles, but rather her brain.”
It will be the first thriller by the author most famous for her YA Twilight saga novels and will her second adult novel after her SF novel, 2008’s The Host.
