Rach asked Marie Force:

Hi Marie!! Let me just start out by saying how much I love you and your books. You are an amazing writer!! What I would really like to know is when you really knew you loved writing and what your first story was? Best wishes to you! I know you have great things in store for you!!

Marie Force Hi Rachel,
Great to hear you're a fan, thank you! I was told by my 10th grade English teacher that I was a "better than average" writer, and for someone who wasn't particularly good at anything, this was BIG NEWS. He really changed the course of my life by directing me toward journalism as my college major, which led to a career in reporting, editing and writing. The fiction writing came later when Jack in Treading Water showed up and demanded I write his story back in 2003. The rest, as they say, is history! Thank you so much for reading and for your kind thoughts!
Best,
Marie
