nope. angsty teen girls don't want to read about kids younger than them. they want to pretend they're "mature" like the main character. if you want to go big take your target audience and add 1-3 years to their age for your lead (don't want to go too old or they get too close to being an adult which is even worse than being a little kid).

Interesting point about her age. I want my story to illustrate my dilemma with women, the two main vampires being girls respectively and the ones trying to chase them down three men. Alice, the 12 year old embodies the dangerous nature of innocence, while the other vampire, Adrianne, appears to be a beautiful young woman, who represents the dangerous nature of a woman's sexual appeal. Throughout the story the two vampires use their individual charms to murder men. I'd worry that Alice would lose that feigned innocence if I increased her age, but it would allow me to tie in themes of the budding sexuality of adolescence that would be unique to her.

There are actually four main characters. Remember this takes place in the old west. One is a traveling snake oil salesman who was set to inherit his father's clinic, but was accused of murdering his wife and had to flee out west. The other is a secretary at the town office, a good boy who's hands are soft as his conscience. Last of the men is the young son of the leader of a gang of cattle rustlers.

Then there is Alice. There is another main vampire character but I will not tell any chapters from her perspective like the others.
