Rowling's Harry Potter franchise, Meyer's book bridged the gap between teen and adult fiction. An active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Meyer had eschewed strong sexuality in her writing, supplanting it with florid sensuality - a draw for her numerous (and primarily female) readers. Twilight was released in 2005 to rave reviews, quickly becoming a best seller. (2003–) Commercial Success and 'Twilight' Films Influenced by authors like William Goldman, Orson Scott Card and Douglas Adams, Meyer worked diligently to flesh out the story, often writing while her children slept. The series' early chapters explored the romance between Edward Cullen, a vampire, and Bella Swan, a human girl. Following a compelling dream - the inspiration for the Twilight book series, and the basis for Chapter 13 of its first book - Meyer began a frenzied writing spree. On June 2, 2003, Meyer became an author in earnest. Sons Seth and Eli followed, and Meyer experienced a busy life as a stay-at-home mom. That same year, she gave birth to her first son, Gabe. Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University in 1997. The reunited friends soon began dating and were married less than a year later, when Meyer was just 21 years old. In 1996, between her junior and senior years at Brigham Young, Meyer became re-acquainted with childhood friend Christian "Pancho" Meyer (the two had grown up in the same social circles).
