Ever feel like your story isn’t your story anymore after it seeps into the world of publishing? I have been empowered with the task of de-twilighting my book. I don’t think it is like Twilight. My story is about a race of half-vampire/half-humans originating from Mexico who hunt vampires. Yes, there is a girl that falls in love with a boy, but not like Bella and Edward. There will NEVER be another Bella and Edward. So I have gone back to emphasize the Hispanic culture that is at the root of my story. We shall see where that goes.
