Stephenie Meyer was interviewed on All Things Considered yesterday. It appears that the 10th anniversary edition will have a "reimagining" of the story with Beau (human) and Edythe (vampire). That might be interesting to read.
Here's a link to the interview.

Spoiler:

Lone Pine Pride, Book 1

Lila Fallon, the Lone Pine Pride Alpha’s only daughter, has been betrothed since childhood to marry her father’s chosen successor. The match is designed to maintain peace by shoring up any cracks in pride solidarity.

She’s always known she would do her duty—she just never expected to meet a man who would tempt her to throw it all away.

As a black panther, Santiago Flores couldn’t be a less suitable mate for the Alpha’s purebred lioness daughter. But that doesn’t change the fact that for every one of the five years he’s been with the Lone Pine Pride, he’s been head-over-heels in love with her. And when the Alpha announces that Lila’s indefinite engagement is about to end in a very definite marriage, Santiago is through holding his peace.

From their very first kiss, Santiago rattles Lila’s neatly ordered world. But can a lioness who’s always lived to please everyone else risk everything to please herself?

Book 2 in the same series, Taming the Lion, is currently marked down from $5.50 to $0.99.

Spoiler:

Wilderness guide and cougar-shifter Patricia “Patch” Fontaine has known the dangers of lone-shifter life since she was ten, when her parents mysteriously vanished. All grown up now, she thrives on her hard-won independence.

When rumors of a new rash of shifter abductions crop up, she’s forced to come home to the Lone Pine Pride for protection—right as the man she’s always secretly wanted is about to marry her best friend. And right as she’s going into heat.

Roman Jaeger values his role as Alpha heir apparent, but he isn’t thrilled about his arranged marriage to the Alpha’s daughter—especially when his bride is just as nonplussed as he is—but he’ll do his duty for the pride. Seeing Patch again challenges his noblest intentions. The wildness in her sets him on fire, and he can’t resist the chance for one last fling.

Both know a future together is impossible. But when chemistry and sowing wild oats grows into a need deeper than lust, their bond could threaten the very heart of the pride they both love.

Got a romance-related question, hope it's ok to ask here since the thread title includes "discussion". (And if not, please point me to the appropriate place, don't wanna mess up.)

Does anybody know how to go about finding an author's pseudonyms? Turns out one of my favorite authors is a confessed plagiarist and I'd rather not support her. She's extremely popular and prolific with over 200 MM paranormal titles in the market and still writing under the tainted name. Right now I am purging my library and hoping like hell one of her aliases is NOT "Stormy Glenn". So far I've seen no indication they're the same but I'd like to make certain so that I don't accidentally buy anything else by this person. Been burned enough already, thank you, so if anyone has advice, I'm all ears.

You can fire me a PM if this sorta discussion's not suitable for the thread. Like I said, I don't wanna break any rules or cause impoliteness. Canadian, eh? We're all about politeness. ;-)

Yikes. I can totally understand not wanting to support this author.

You can try sites like fictiondb and fantasticfiction.co.uk. They have authors pseudonyms listed when they're known.

It's quite okay the mention the author here if need be. It can be difficult to find all pen names for a writer especially if they write indies. In the past we have had discussion of authors who have plagiarize. I don't read MM but others here do and may be able to help more.

I think everyone here supports not supporting plagiarists. Yuck.

While I can't necessarily help you track down any of her pen names, I will say that it's obvious from your caution that you weren't around that time last year (or was it the year before?) when a popular romance author was exposed as a plagiarist, and that was the main conversation topic in the thread for a while... Let's just say we loathe them.

So please, by all means, tell me who this author is so I can stop supporting her as well.
