Awesome blogstress Syria interviewed me over at her awesome blog, Syria Says. Check it out as I bare my soul with anyone who cares to see my bared soul.

Here's one of just several questions and thrilling answers!

Syria Says: What was your earliest attempt at writing?

Rachel Howzell: I wrote my first play in third grade -- "A Blue Monday" It offered a glimpse of my stories of the future. The heroine wakes up and everything goes wrong… I still have it and read it to my 6-year old daughter the other day. As a child and teen, I kept diaries (again, which I still have) and they provide a great source of background material for my novels.
