Wattpad’s Nina Lassam explained the pick: “Her Vampire novel Freak Among Freaks was voted by fans as a finalist for Wattpad’s annual writing contest. When Veronica finished her novel, she was besieged with requests from fans, asking her to publish her book. After turning down two offers on the advice of her writing group, she was picked up by a publisher.”
