This news shocked me since I’m one of Meyers many fans. Just recently another writer named Jordan Scott sued Stephanie Meyer for her 2008 Best Selling book Breaking Dawn. According to Ms. Scott, her 2006 Vampire novel, The Nocturne, contained many situations that are similar to that in Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyer’s publisher, Hachette Book Group, was undaunted by the suit, claiming that this was a just another publicity stunt to further Ms. Scott’s career.

I’m not really sure what my opinion would be on this since I’ve never read Jordan Scott’s book entitled, The Nocturne. I guess she would need to point a lot of “similar situations” from Breaking Dawn with her book to really claim that there was indeed an infringement. If not, then I would I agree that this could be just another publicity stunt since people would be curious to find out whether her claims are true. An increase in sales of The Nocturne would be undoubtedly expected.
