Interview with Rachel Michelle Wilson

What do you do to unwind and relax?I read (surprise, surprise), paint, play the piano or guitar, hike, swim, rock climb, stand up paddle board, hang out with my dreamboat husband, or build a campfire. What are some of your pet peeves?It drives me crazy when someone asks me, “Where do you want to eat?” then I voice my decision and find out they had their choice in mind all along. People should just tell me where they want to eat up front and stop wasting time. I’m hungry!
When did you first consider yourself a writer?I fell in love with writing as soon as I learned how to write. I gave family and friends my stories for special occasions as gifts, and I loved making up bedtime stories for my sister. Yet I couldn’t call myself a writer for a long time because I felt like I didn’t deserve it. That’s why I started a website called FREE THE WRITER and chose @rachelmichellewrites as a social media handle. It was a declaration to myself that I am a writer.
What inspired you to write your novel?Most of what I’ve written fits into the world of academia more than fiction. Receiving my B.A. in literary studies taught me how to think better which helped me write better, but I felt starved for creative writing. Only recently have I jumped back into creative writing. Although I haven’t published a novel yet, I’m working on a middle grade mystery, and I’m also writing and illustrating a picture book.
What do you enjoy most about writing your novel?I’m learning to enjoy the process more than the result. This helps me feel happy about the small successes like finishing a poem, painting a scene, or revising my picture book manuscript. As I train myself to focus on the creative process, my perfectionism and fear melts away.
As a reader, what genre do you love?I love the depth of nature writing (oh Emerson), the heart of middle grade fiction, and the playfulness of picture books. Children’s books usually call to me the most (I try really hard to keep my inner child happy). I also enjoy solving fictional mysteries alongside sassy or funny protagonists. Really, I love reading any character driven story.
Cats or dogs?Dogs. I love Goldendoodles. One day, sigh.
Dragons or unicorns?I’d rather have a pet unicorn. Less drama.
Your favourite superhero?Wonder Woman.
If you were an X-woman, what power would you like to have?I’d want to breathe underwater. But based on my empathic personality, I’d probably actually have the power to read people’s minds.
Do you believe in writer’s block?Writer’s block is a broad term that encompasses everything that blocks writers from writing. So yes, I believe it exists because writers definitely experience creative barriers. The term becomes less helpful, however, when writers use it to avoid looking inside themselves. In order to overcome their emotional barriers, writers need to take the time to identify what type of block they are experiencing and why they are experiencing it. You can find my blog post all about this here.
Any writing tips you’d like to share?If you feel stuck, try using an online random word generator. You’ll be surprised where one word takes you.
Are you a pantser or a plotter?Definitely a plotter. Outlining helps me split up an overwhelming project into manageable pieces.

Dark Assassins Series



Remote and Deadly.
And until six months ago, he was fine with that description. But when the vampire assassin spots a curvaceous woman, a human no less, who would come to fill his thoughts, he would gladly shake his persona for a moment in time with her. Instead, he kept his distance, watching out for her and learning more about her every time their paths crossed. But he had yet to speak to her. When a turn of events thrusts her into his solitary life, he must decide whether to complete his assignment, or protect her.
Olivia Sabin had dedicated her life to her work; finding a cure for cancer. She had hidden behind the mask of a scientist who cares little about anything beyond her laboratory, and for a long while she believed it herself. But when a mysterious man came to frequent the diner she visited nightly, her awareness of him devastated her concentration, and she came to look forward to the glimpses of him, however brief.
When she stumbles upon a horrific experiment at work, she knows he’s the only one she can turn to. She’s willing to sacrifice everything in order to protect him and others of his kind from the same fate. But first, she needs to find a way to get him to hear her explanation.

A wolf-shifter and his powerful human.
Reaper had expected it to be an easy assignment. Break into a biotech facility with minimum security and rescue a group of immortals who were subject to deadly experiments and eliminate those who might try to fight back.

She became his mission.

But with no resources and running out of ideas about how to protect herself, will she be able to lower her defenses and allow the shifter to help her?

One would think the sassy, sexy hybrid Earthen Protector and Healer Alex Conner deserves some downtime after all she’s been through. But no. Instead, she finds herself trapped by the king of the Fae, and he’s not letting her go until he gets what he wants.
As alternate realities tangle her in confusion and bring her close to forgetting who she is and everyone she loves, will she unwittingly give the king what he craves?
If she does escape, will she ever pick up where she left off with her sexy Adonis Ryan?
And can she control the new power she never knew she could wield—one over life and death itself—or will she be entangled in a realm whose ruler is hell-bent on entrapping her and someone she holds dear, forever?
Only is a unique paranormal/supernatural romance & contemporary fantasy novel for lovers of the metaphysical, romantic fantasy, & elementals with romantic and dark fantasy elements. Only is enjoyed by fans of The King Killer Chronicles, Sunshine, The Hollows, The Weird Girls, and The Shannara Series & Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Parker gives credit to the development of her imagination and passion for writing to multiple childhood destinations lacking indoor plumbing. She would never trade the childhood her parents gave her, and she thanks them for raising her to have her own thoughts, dreams, and bountiful imagination. Oh and she wishes to thank them for teaching her that one should never leave their jeans on the floor of an everglades campground shower--lest she do the dance of the scorpions in the pants again!
