Bella Should Have Dumped Edward: Controversial Views on the Twilight Series
About the Project
Around Fall 2009 I was contacted by Ulysses Press, a publishing company in Berkeley, California. They wanted me to write a Twilight fan debate book similar to MuggleNet's Harry Potter Should Have Died. I came up with around 30 questions for the fans and had you guys comment/email in your responses. Then I compiled them into a book along with my own opinions. Bella Should Have Dumped Edward was released in June 2010.
