A2A: Mario Acevedo & Marta Acosta

I've put up a new Author2Author with a pair of comic Latino vampire novelists, Mario Acevedo and Marta Acosta. By which I mean that they're novelists who write about vampires, of course, not that they're vampires who are novelists. But they are both comic and Latino, and Acosta explains how that shaped her perspective when she started her first novel:

"I thought why not write a story with vamps with a Latina protagonist, and let them argue about who was the most oppressed by The Man? I selected vampires because I find the standard vampires to be ridiculous as romantic characters. They never use contractions even though they've been speaking English for hundreds of years. They're recreationally morose. They're always looking for the trophy girlfriend, and they never have any interesting hobbies or jobs."
