Rachel Smith

Biography

Rachel Smith's writing celebrates irreverence both in her novels and on her blog, Guinea Pigs and Books (guineapigsandbooks.wordpress.com), where she nearly reviews books alongside photographs of her herd of guinea pigs. She prefers to write about plagues and ensembles of characters up against some odds and making light of their situations using the inevitable levity that comes when facing certain doom; although she has also written about other stuff...and things. After earning her Master’s in creative writing she quit writing for several years, moved to Mississippi, and became a librarian - then started the manuscript that would become Dawn of the Interns, the first in the Night of the Squirrels/ Squirrelpocalypse Trilogy. She and the pigs returned to the Midwest eventually, and all three books of the Squirrelpocalypse Trilogy are now available.
