Interview: Rachel Vincent + Giveaway!

I am awfully excited about this! Thanks to Mira Ink, I got the opportunity to ask Rachel Vincent 5 questions, and I am now sharing her answers with you!

And did you see the ANIMATED book jacket for My Soul to Steal? No? Check it out below.

My Soul to Steal (Soul Screamers #4)
by Rachel Vincent
Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can’t just pretend nothing happened. But “complicated” doesn’t even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

See, Sabine isn’t just an ordinary girl. She’s a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people’s fears—and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.

And Sabine isn’t above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.

Which character is the most fun to write about in the whole series?

Sabine. I know, I know, but her dialogue just flows so easily. ;)

There are five books in the Soul Screamers series right now, but if there were to be a sixth Soul Screamers book, do you already have something written for it?

It’s already written and in revisions! It’s called Before I Wake.

What's the one thing you have to do, a ritual or a habit of some sort, before you start writing?

Make coffee. That’s it.

The Soul screamers series is a highly popular novel! What do you think is the reason for it to be so successful?

You think so? Thanks! But I have no idea what makes readers click with one novel and not another. If I knew that, I’d sell the secret and make my fortune. ;)

Aside from the Soul Screamers series, do you have any YA novels to be published in the future?

I have side projects, of course, but nothing I can talk about yet.

Any advice on writers who wants to be as successful as you?

Oh, you guys are sweet! The only advice I can give is to read and write as much as you can. Learn both from what you read and from what you write. Practice, practice, practice.
