I wanted to immerse myself in another era and experience it the same way I would if I were able to time travel, and with the Renaissance being a favorite of mine, it was a given which era I would choose. What inspired this series was my love for historical novels, and my need to read them through my modern day eyes. Tell us what inspired the My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century Series? What makes it special?
Two months later I started my first YA book (now titled The Fine Art of Pretending, to be published with Spencer Hill Contemporary next year), six months after that I started My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century, and a few months after that I had a contract. After inhaling that series like three times back to back, I had the crazy thought that I could maybe try to do that. But I never considered really going for it until I became a homeschool, stay at home mom, and fell in love with reading for fun with the Twilight series. And I wrote down stories all through my childhood, even posting fan fiction for a soap opera in the late nineties. Oh, oh, my husband went to elementary school with Ian Somerhalder and I have his fifth grade yearbook picture 🙂 Or that I interned at Entertainment Tonight in NYC and met Heidi Klum in her underwear (it was a shoot for a Victoria Secret commercial). Unique, huh? How about the fact I threw up on my first date (if that’s not fodder for a future book, I don’t know what is). I did have my own fantabulous Sweet Sixteen in high school. MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEENTH CENTURY is my first novel. When I’m not typing furiously or flipping pages in an enthralling romance, you can find me homeschooling my two beautiful princesses, hanging out with my amazing husband, or taking a hot bubble bath…next to a pile of chocolate. Today, I am honored to feature an interview with author Rachel Harris, author of the My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century Series!Īs a teen, I threw raging parties that shook my parents’ walls and created embarrassing fodder for future YA novels.Īs an adult, I read and write obsessively, rehash said embarrassing fodder, and dream up characters who become my imaginary friends.
