Interview: Rachel Vincent
I am ecstatic to welcome Rachel Vincent to Literary Escapism today. I haven’t been doing too many interviews lately, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to get one of my favorites authors in the hot seat.
We’re celebrating the release of Prey, which comes out July 1st,
SOMETIMES PLAYING CAT AND MOUSE IS NO GAME…
Play? Right. My Pride is under fire from all sides, my father’s authority is in question, and my lover is in exile. Which means I haven’t laid eyes on Marc’s gorgeous face in months. And with a new mother and an I-know-everything teenager under my protection, I don’t exactly have time to fantasize about ever seeing him again.
Then our long-awaited reunion is ruined by a vicious ambush by strays. Now our group is under attack, Marc is missing, and I will need every bit of skill and smarts to keep my family from being torn apart. Forever.
Make sure you stick around because I’m getting to give away a copy of Prey. Have I mentioned I’m jealous of the winner already?
______________________________________________
Thank you so much for giving me the chance to interview you. I love your Werecat series and can’t wait to read the latest novel, Prey, which releases July 1st, what can you tell us about it that we haven’t already seen in the blurb?
Something you haven’t read in the blurb… Well, you may have read this elsewhere online, but it isn’t on the blurb: Prey is the book that changes everything, for Faythe’s entire Pride. Nothing will ever be the same again, after this one. For better or worse. ;-)
Why Faythe? What was it about Faythe that drew you to her and want to tell her story?
Honestly, it didn’t work like that. I didn’t select her from a lineup of possible characters. I sat down to write a book about a werecat, and Faythe is what happened. She is the product of her environment, and for a long time, her environment indulged her. But now her world is demanding things of her, and she’s rising to the challenge. I’m seriously enjoying the ride, and I hope everyone else does too. ;-)
We know there are South American (and I’m assuming Central American) cats, but what about Asian and/or African cats? Is there a werecat presence in Asia, Europe or Africa with their own cultures and will Faythe ever encounter them?
In Faythe’s world, there are werecats the world over, but the entire species began in South and Central America. They’ve spread out over the centuries (specifically, the last few decades) in search of more land and larger territories. Various cultures have evolved and changed (like that in North America), but their roots are all the same. And some climates/geographical areas are kinder to cats than others. You’re not going to see many solid black cats roaming Antarctica. Or the plains of Africa. It would be pretty hard to blend in.
Will Faythe meet them? Not in the six books in the series. If the series gets extended, it’s possible, the readers will see them, but I’m not planning to write any more books from Faythe’s perspective after Alpha. Her story will be done.
You’ve built a fantastic culture for your cats, but I have to wonder, since creating your world in Stray, has there been anything you’ve regretting starting or wish you had started sooner? Was there something that worked out great in Stray or Rogue, but you’re now wishing you had done differently?
Oh, yes. I wish I hadn’t said that humans and werecats can’t breed. Because of that, I had to come up with a believable reason that they (and thus I) were wrong about that.
I also wish I’d said from the beginning that there were more than ten territories in the US. Greg could use some more allies. ;-)
Spoiler Alert for those who haven’t read Pride. In Pride, you share a little more about the genetic makeup of a werecat and how strays are made when a human carrying a werecat recessive gene is scratched. When Kaci was introduced as a character, what made you decide to make her a genetic anomaly (having the recessive gene from both sides) instead of proving Faythe right that a female could become a stray?
There were two reasons. First, Kaci was always supposed to have been born and raised human. I wanted to explore the psyche of a human girl thrown into the werecat culture, with no warning, and what that (specifically her first Shift) might do to her. But I didn’t want to beat up on any more women. After Faythe, Sara, Abby, and Manx all endured heavy, heart-breaking abuse because of their gender, I wanted to move beyond that. I wanted to show a girl who’d drawn the worst possible lot in life, but was able to overcome. I wanted her to be strong, yet vulnerable. A sort of mirror image/foil for Faythe.
Not that the other women aren’t strong. They all are. But basically, I didn’t want to beat up on any more girls. ;-)
As for why I wouldn’t “let” Faythe be right on this one… well, Faythe is not Forrest Gump. She’s not Ayla. She wasn’t present at every monumental historical event. She didn’t invent the sewing needle or the big yellow happy face. She’s not the most perfect, most loved, or most revered woman on the planet. Or even in her own book. And she’s not always right.
(Pssst… In this particular case, she is right. But no one believes her yet, because she has no proof. ;-) )
Faythe has gone through some amazing development through Stray, Rogue and Pride. What has gone through your mind as you’ve thrown obstacle after obstacle at her and how did you come about using those obstacles? I know some authors have their characters voices in their head as they write; what was Faythe’s reaction for putting her through, yet another, crisis? If Faythe could talk to you while you were writing any of the werecat novels, what would she be saying?
If Faythe could talk to me, she—like most of the other characters—would probably say “Leave me alone!” Maybe with some four-letter words tossed in for emphasis. ;-)
But I’ve challenged Faythe for a reason. I’ve been helping her grow. If she were perfect from the start, she’d be no fun to read about. If characters don’t change and grow, we can’t care about them. Perfect people are boring. (Also, they don’t exist.)
Faythe has learned a lot over the course of five books (I’ve just turned in Shift, Shifters Book 5). She’s learned to let someone else have the last word (occasionally); not to judge a mother by her apron; sometimes father really does know best; brothers do serve a purpose; thirteen yr olds cannot be reasoned with by traditional logic; and strong words are good, but a railroad spike is better. She’s also come to the conclusion that hers is not necessarily the most important life on the line, her perspective is not the only one, and that sometimes the greater good requires significant sacrifice.
And in the sixth (final) book, she’s going to need everything she learned. And then some.
You’ve indicated in previous interviews that the Werecat series will end at six books (or at least Faythe’s story) and you’ve just started your new YA series, Soul Screamers; do you have anything else planned for the future or are you concentrating on Soul Screamers right now? Do you plan on having a set number of books for the Soul Screamers series? Has there been talks about doing novellas from any of the werecats point of views?
Yes, Faythe’s story ends with Alpha, Shifters books six. Depending on reader demand and publisher interest, I might be willing to write a standalone or two and/or novellas set in the same world. But there’s been no serious talk about either of those at this point.
As for the Soul Screamers, right now, I never want to leave that world. I’d love to write seven books featuring Kaylee, and I have ideas for other stories in her world, with other characters. But that’s all really premature right now. The first book isn’t even out yet. I’m waiting to see how well they’re received, particularly by the target audience. And I’m crossing my fingers. And my toes. And my eyes. And anything else it’s physically possible to cross. ;-)
When you’re not writing, what are you reading? Have you found an author that’s new to you or one that the rest of the world really needs to find? Is there a certain niche in the fantasy genre that you prefer to escape to? If so, why that one or if not, why not?
I’m reading both YA and adult—mostly urban fantasy in adult, and both UF and contemporary in YA. But I’m a bit behind on my TBR pile at the moment. Deadlines, you know. ;-)
What was it about the fantasy genre that drew you to write in it? Was there a certain book that captured your imagination and lead you to think you could do it or did it come to your naturally? When did you know that writing Urban Fantasy was going to be the “thing” that you would want to do with your life?
I’ve been reading fantasy and horror since junior high, and I’ve been writing since I could hold a pencil. So putting the two together was never really a question. To date, I’ve written eleven novels, and they’ve all been urban fantasy except for the first two (un-submitted) manuscripts, which were high fantasy.
When did I know that writing was what I wanted to do with my life? The day I typed “The End” on the last page of my first novel. That’s when I knew I could do it. I haven’t looked back since. Not once in five years.
What was the first fiction you ever wrote? Do you still have it with you? Have you ever thought about expanding it into a novel? Why or why not?
Well, technically, the first piece of fiction I wrote was a story about a class fieldtrip to the zoo, when I was five. I don’t still have it, but I think my grandmother might. But I’m pretty skeptical of its novel potential. ;-)
Do you have a process of how you start to write one of your novels? Is it the same or different with each novel you write? When you get stuck, during a scene or in general, what do you do to escape from writers block? What is the most painful part of the process for you when you’re writing a book?
I start every novel (since the first four) with my big whiteboard, a pile of Post-it notes, my dry erase markers, and an idea. Or a list of loose threads from previous books that need to be tied up. My novels are plotted out in detail in advance, because they’re almost as plot-driven as they are character-driven. Plotting can take a while. A couple of weeks, sometimes. But with that out of the way, the actual rough draft usually flows pretty quickly.
But when I do get stuck (usually at least once per book), I go out for fajitas. Seriously. My husband helps me plot through problems over fajitas. I have no idea why that works, but I swear it does. At least for me. ;-)
The most painful part of the process is invariably plotting. Plotting is hard. And it gets harder with each successive book in a series. I’m getting ready to plot and write ALPHA, the final Shifters book, and I’m intimidated by the very thought. Wish me luck!
What are you writing now?
Right now I’m about to write a short story set in my Soul Screamers world. Kaylee isn’t in it, but I expect Nash to have a cameo. ;-)
What’s the weirdest fanmail that you’ve gotten that you’re willing to share? (we can thank my adorable hubby for this one)
Well, my readers are awesome, and most of the reader mail I get is really fun to read. But I have gotten mail from prison, which I didn’t expect. And I once got mail from a woman who wanted me to know she was planning to name her unborn baby Faythe. I’m hoping she just liked the spelling, because my Faythe hasn’t had the easiest life. ;-)
A genie comes along and grants you 3 wishes…what would they be?
First, I wish I could pause time. If I could pause time, I would work while the rest of the world was frozen, then un-pause and go on with the rest of my life, without missing a beat. Or a meal, or a party, or a TV show. ;-)
Second, I’d wish for magical, calorie-free, high-quality chocolate that can be used in everything from cookies to coffee. Why eat anything else? ;-)
And I reserve the third wish for something altruistic to be chosen later. After I’ve seen more of the world and have a better idea of what’s really needed.
If you could have any kind of pet, what would it be? Fictional or nonfictional? Possible or Impossible?
Since I already have the world’s best cats, I would have to ask for a dragon, if reality isn’t a concern. It doesn’t have to be a big dragon. So long as it can spare me from coach airplane seating and fry the bad guys on sight, I’d be happy. And wing claws would be a bonus!

Hi Rachel, I’ve read all the books in the series, and have really enjoyed watching Faythe’s character evolve and grow. Love the teasers about Prey, and can’t wait to read it.
As for a pet, I would really like to have a cat, though my hubby is allergic, so that won’t work. Would love something magical and unique, like a dragon, unicorn or maybe a dragonfly.
Hi! Rachel love your Werecat series! I’m drawn to Shifters/Weres and love reading about them, Can’t wait to read Prey heard great reviews, Congrats and Best Wishes!!
Pets…I love animals so this is hard to choose! I would like a Dragon so I could fly around with him. For a non-fictional pet I would love a Wolf, but I would also need alot of land so she could roam.
If you could have any kind of pet, what would it be? Fictional or nonfictional? Possible or Impossible?
It have to be the lizard on Primeval called Rex. I think he’s adorable and just this side of getting into stuff all the time! But I love that he can fly/glide.
Yay for PREY! I can’t wait to read it.
If I could have any pet it would be a dog. I grew up with the most wonderful dog for a pet and now that I’m a grown-up and have kids of my own I want them to have the same experience. Unfortunately, close family members highly allergic to dogs and cats make that a virtual impossibility. Sigh.
Well, it’s already too darn hot down here in FL without having a fire-breathing dragon around! A wolf would be nice if I didn’t have cats and all (there is a wolf rescue near here, and I considered it, but worry about those strong hunting instincts around all of my other animals). So I’m gonna say just a plain ole mutt. Something that would be protective and loyal and dedicated, and get along with all of my other animals. Or a horse. That would be nice, too.

If I could have any pet my mind could think up, I would want a tiny little kitten, like seven weeks old, that never stopped being a kitten. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my cats. But sometimes I wish they were still kittens.
I would have an elephant. Don’t know why but they are my favorite animals. If I couldn’t have an elephant I’d have a wolf.
bbricke AT yahoo DOT com
If I could have any pet, real or imaginary, I’d pick a cat with wings. How cool would it be to have a flying cat? Don’t know why, but I always thought the cat angel statues were adorable…
I would have a white tiger. I have always dreamed of one and just love to look at and watch them.
I’d like a rabbit. They’re quiet, and low maintenance, but still warm and cuddly.
Great interview! I can’t wait to read Prey. I’ve already ordered it from Amazon so hopefully I’ll get to read it soon. :0)
As for a pet, I would love to have a Fire Lizard/Dragonet from Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonrider’s of Pern novels. So cool. *grin*
Thanks!

a baby tiger, there just so cute and very intersting to look at =], great interview by the way.
i have a cat, and i love her, but i wish she was more like koko in the cat who series by lillian jackson braun. or that she could talk back to me somehow.
If you could have any kind of pet, what would it be? Fictional or nonfictional? Possible or Impossible?
Hmmmm…I would have a tame displacer beast.
(From D&D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacer_Beast)
If I could have any pet, I would want a demon cat, like Giguhl in Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells. He is just too funny!
I have linked to this contest in my contest section, right sidebar:
http://jo-scrawls.blogspot.com/
I’ve tweeted about this contest too:
http://twitter.com/jo_scrawls/status/2313226391
Any kind of pet? Hmm…I would like a wolf. I know a lot of people have already said this one but there’s always been something so mysterious about wolves that I have been inexplicably drawn to them. They’re very interesting creatures and the stories of wolves are very intriguing–even though the wolf is usually the bad guy.
Oh, fun question! Non-fictional/possible? Maybe a greyhound or a horse…or a hypoallergenic kitty(no, not the hairless kind). Fictional/impossible? If I’d been asked that as a kid, I would’ve answered with a pterodactyl! I totally had an imaginary pet pterodactyl named Pterry(ya, original, eh?) on a leash. Now? I’d probably go with a dragon…or something of a fire elemental salamander…or maybe a falcon or raven or something.
I think I’d like a magical horse that understood when i was super busy and could transport me quickly anywhere (in the world or in fiction). Talk about fun road trips
Oooh I’d love a chimpanzee as they can live as long as humans and are cuddly as well as very intelligent (let’s ignore the aggressive side tho). If I could, I’d have a house-elf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_creatures_(Harry_Potter)#House-elves)
If I go anything it would have to be a blue or green dragon with pretty iridescent scales.
If I go real – it would have to be my 80 lb lap dog who thinks he’s human because he eats better than I do sometimes.
I don’t now if this truly adheres to the ‘pet’ bit but I’d want a werecat. A human I could talk to and a beautiful giant cat! Best of both worlds.
Dandy
XxX
If I could pick any pet I think it would have to be a Unicorn, I know totally never gonna happen but there is just something so magical and beautiful about them!
Seriously can’t wait to read Prey! xx
I would never give up my 2 cats (even though they sometimes act like they don’t care) but I would love to clone my aunt and uncle’s wolf/dog, Baloo. She is 3/4 wolf so is of course big and beautiful, and is just the most gentle dog. She hardly ever even barks; she’s such a good dog. And if she could be trained to use the toilet, that would make her the most perfect pet ever!
The first three books in the series are hot and your cover art is striking!
I have always wanted to have a small green dragon as a pet, that could perch on my shoulder and hide in my hair… but not the pesky kind, supernatural bodyguard too!
Miranda
Hi! I’m a new subscriber:) Glad i found this place!!!!!!
For a pet I would love a cat who talks! I say this because I have gone through alot in life and find myself always confiding in my cats. It would be so nice to here what they really think, and feel!
Great interview.
Pet? I already have the greatest pet in the form of a rat named Lucy.
But if I were to get another it would be fox. They are cool and move like cats. But only if it didn’t want to eat my Lucy. ;)
Awesome interview.
I would like a dog that can live past its years. Why? Because watching a pet pass away is heartbreaking and a pet that is with you for a lifetime is great.
can’t wait for the new book to come out! Hopefully my bookstore in town will put it on shelves a little early! I’m checking…. just in case :)
As for pets, I would love to have a bird. But I’d want it to be one that could leave the enclosure of my house, fly around and do what it wants but would still know to come back at the end of the day.
Hi =)
If I could have any pet I’d pick a big cat! Puma, tiger, panther something like that.
But I have to admit I’m fairly happy with my tiny kittens at home =)
Thank for the contest! I’m planning to buy the books but it won’t be before I move in 3 weeks!
Cindy
Hi Rachel! I love the excitement about this book that you give additionally in the blurb! I love the way you spell her name, Faythe. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. I never saw it spelled that way and love it.
Rachel, this world of the werecats, did you develop this all before your first book with planning it, or that develop as you wrote the first book? I too am looking forward to your YA books. They, are with Harlequin right? Their upcoming new line, or am I wrong? I hope you get to write dragons! I have two cats and love them. I am afraid of dogs but would like to get through that, maybe starting with a small dog or a very tame one. Like a Bolognese! or other toy dogs!
I posted this contest over on my blogs at:
http://caffeys-reads.blogspot.com (Contests post)
http://myspace.com/auntcaffey (Contest post)
I’m on LE’s Facebook group and page along with your newsletter
I have an old movie called Krull that I love for the Clydesdales that fly. So my fictional pet would be one of those big horses. When I say fly, they actually ran across the sky and there was fire that flew out from their hooves, giving the evening sky a sunset. My horse would be either black or a dappled gray. I don’t think there’s any animal any more lovely than a horse.
I haven’t read this author yet, but there seems to be tremendous good buzz about the series. And I’m more of a cat than dog person myself, anyway! *g*
I have been dropping in to the author’s grog though (Deadline Dames) and really enjoying it, though.
What pet would I like? I loved that snow leopard who tagged along with Daniel Craig’s character in ‘The Golden Compass’, and having a phoenix like Professor Dumbledore would be pretty cool. Useful, also, for first aid situations and such.
Off to subscribe to the newsletter, now….
Ilike another snake. we had a ball python but is died. was the best pet we’ve ever had. Kept the family away without calling first and with hubby’s family that is a good thing. My family callls first mostly.
I’d love to have a unicorn!
If you could have any kind of pet, what would it be? Fictional or nonfictional? Possible or Impossible?
–> I would have a tiger that was well trained and expressive (like Raja in Aladdin).
I posted here: http://twitter.com/trixafaerie/status/2320576314 and http://www.facebook.com/tricia.lawson?ref=nf about this blog.
And I signed up for the newsletter, using the same email as above. And I joined the LE Facebook group, as well as becoming “a fan” on Facebook.
If I wasn’t allergic, I would probably get a cat. And a ferret is also nice!
I would love to have something exotic, like a wolf or a tiger.
Most of all, though, I would love for my dogs to be able to speak english to me (because they already talk! :)
Actually, that’s a hard question. I think I’m going to be unoriginal and want a dragon too. A tiny one, like Mushi. One that talks. One that’s ultra-wise and intelligent like dragons are supposed to be. One who likes to hoard treasure.
Awesome interview guys!!
Another chance to win a copy of Prey…WooHoo!!!!!!
What pet do I want? Hmmmmm, let me see. Well, I’d love to have a pet that can be anyting I want or need it to be . It could be a dragon with wings or a cute cluddly little puppy, or even an alligator, LOL!! My pet would be able to change shape, read minds, travel at the speed of light…..and so much more. Whatever I needed at the time!! Greedy, yup I know!
Hi!
If I could have any kind of pet I’d have a husky.
If I can have any kind of pet I would choose a dog…Short Haired German Shepard..their beautiful..
Any kind of pet? Would turning my hubby into a were count? That way I keep the man I love but have a wolf that loves me as much as he does! If that doesn’t count- then a Dire wolf. They seem to be a mix of canine and feline, and drawings that I have seen make them beautiful.

LOVED this interview. Very interesting and it made me want to read Prey more than ever. Good thing I’m buying it for my friend as her birthday present. Hopefully she’ll let me borrow it. LOL joking. :)
If I could have a pet, I’d have a winged horse, because then I could ride on it and fly on it!
Oh thanks for the wonderful interview – I just finished “Stray” and can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
Okay, for the question, I’m sure it’s boring, but I love dogs and I want one so bad. Need to get a yard first though.
Thanks again!
I twittered and facebooked. Also my ideal pet would be a albino cheetah. (Don’t ask me why)

A white tiger. I’m so in love with them. I want one more than anything.
I’d like a dog – one with lots of fluffy fur!

Great interview!! I really want a dragon — or a unicorn — something cool that I could ride :-)
If you could have any kind of pet, what would it be? Fictional or nonfictional? Possible or Impossible?
That’s easy – a dragon – I LOVE dragony things :-)
Great interview and I’m so excited about this series, I’m only on the third so far,I have Pride ordered from Amazon,well anyways since I already have 2 dogs for pets I guess I would have to say I would want a monkey as a pet,I’ve heard that they are pretty entertaining and intelligent.
Pet? I think I’d want a gargolye. I bet they are just the cutest when they are babies!
ruthiesbookreviews AT yahoo DOT com
Hm, wouldn’t want to pet a dragon, a unicorn could be nice but….oh a pegasus. Could ride and fly it.
But mostly I would just want a nice and sweet snow leopard or something
I would have to say a panther. I LOVE cats so I think it would be cool to have a big black beautiful panther!!
I signed up for face book and newsletter also!!
Just wanted to let you know I posted about the contest on my blog =)

If you could have any kind of pet, what would it be? Fictional or nonfictional? Possible or Impossible?
Depends by what you mean as a pet. In the traditional sense my favourite is a dog, loyal and comforting all in one.
In a non traditional as a companion rather than a pet I would like a gryphon :) Intelligent, curious, fierce when need be and also very loyal to friends.
HI there! I just wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed Rachel’s series so far, and I can’t wait to read the new one! And as far as my hypothetical pet, I knew someone once who owned chinchillas, and they were the cutest things! So I think that’s what I’d want as a non-fictional pet. Speaking more fantastically, I think a gargoyle would be cool.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’d love to have a lion, I like big cats…
If I could have any sort of pet, I’d have a snow leopard, or maybe a robot of if that counts.
This looks like a good book, please enter me into this drawing.

If I could have kind of pet, it would be a small puppy. I can’t have one where I live and I’ve never had a dog and would love to have one.
If you could have any kind of pet, what would it be? Fictional or nonfictional? Possible or Impossible?
I think I’d like an owl.
I’m almost too late!! lol.
I’d love to win a copy of this book, I love this series…and really wanted to buy the book at walmart today when I saw it..but I’m broke until pay day :( It would be great to win a copy! Yay!
Anywho, if I could have any pet, I think it would be a black panther…they are just completely gorgeous. Of course, I wouldn’t be able to get rid of my dog, so my dog would just have to get along with it…lol, and it with her.
Thanks for hosting such a great contest!
