The Vampire Diaries is a popular book and television series.
And it inspired one local teen.
Dixie Myers, 17, a home-schooled high school senior, has just published her first book, “The Tribid Mate.”
“I decided to write my book a year ago,” she said. “I came up with the subject of vampire romance because I love The Vampire Diaries.
“It started with an idea and I just started writing,” she said. “It has a big audience.”
It is available on Amazon.conm or Wattpad.
It is about Willow Thompson, a young girl ready to go to college when a man shows up. She fights her destiny, while Bryce, the King of Scarpyina, has already lost a mate and won’t let it happen a second time.
