Just Can't Help Thinking...

...that the author of my book has gotten her ideas from somewhere else. One of my favorite books is "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer (guilty is charged...). When you read a great book, sometimes you have a hard time finding another book as good as that one. Usually, I would just think of this connection as a coincidence, but it seems a bit too similar. Not that the story line is the same, because they are not at all. But there are little things, here and there, such as the fact that the book takes place in the state of Washington, as does "Twilight". There is a girl named Bella (though she isn't the main character), the way the mother behaves is similar-some what eccentric and immature. It even gets down to things like the similarities between word choice and writing styles. Maybe it's in my head, but I can't be sure. I hope it's in my head. I just can't help thinking it is so.
