After reading My Soul To Take, by Rachel Vincent, we were full of questions to ask her. She answered!
RTR: If you couldn’t be a writer, then what you be?
Rachel: I taught ninth grade English for a very short while after college, so I guess I could go back to that. But honestly, I’m much better suited to writing.
RTR: What is your guilty pleasure?
Rachel: Eighties big hair ballads and wasabi peas. Not necessarily in that order.
RTR: If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
Rachel: Oh, I don’t know! Someone wise.
RTR: If your life was turned into a movie, who would you want to play you?
Rachel: Someone pretty with a British accent. Just cause. Other than that, I’m not picky.
RTR: What’s the one thing you couldn’t live without?
Rachel: Air conditioning. I live in San Antonio.
RTR: Do you have any weird talents or hobbies?
Rachel: Nope, I’m pretty normal.
RTR: If you could scream for only one person, who would you scream for?
Rachel: I don’t know. But I’m really glad I’m not a bean sidhe, so that I don’t have to make those kinds of decisions.
RTR: Who do you like better: Nash or Tod?
Rachel: Today? Tod. But that’s probably because I just finished writing a novella from his POV. But both Hudson boys are deliciously conflicted and damaged.
RTR: Of your two series, which do you like better: the Soul Screamers series or the Shifters series?
Rachel: That’s truly impossible to answer. They’re so different, and I love them both, for different reasons.
RTR: The topic of bean sidhe’s is pretty original in today’s fiction writing market for teens. Where did you come up with the idea?
Rachel: Well, obviously the lore isn’t mine originally. But I did add to it and kind of make it my own. The choice of species specifically was part of a conscious effort to avoid the vampire/shifter/witch market trend. I like to travel my own path. And the bean sidhe lore offered some really great potential, but it was sparse enough to give me room to help it grow.
Thank you Rachel! We’ll be looking out for more of your books to read!
