Sabrina Pena Young

Smashwords Interview

What did you want to be when you grew up?
Like any little girl, I wanted to be a famous rock drummer when I grew up. I dedicated the bulk of my teen and college years to drumming, playing in everything from Gothic bands to Christian alternative rock to orchestra and avant-garde ensembles that created irritating "sound art". I've dedicated over a quarter of a century to my music as a performer and composer. Still not a famous rock drummer, though. Maybe I should go with my fifth grade backup career and become an international spy.
When did you first start writing?
To be honest, I started writing in elementary school...stories about space vampires and evil monsters...stuff I should have saved since it's such a favorite topic today. I constantly wrote mysteries and science fiction, sometimes what I thought was dramatic historical fiction, and even the occasional horror story...in my college years my writing became simultaneously more academic as i preened to be a musician and scholar while also littering my dorm with poem upon poem about love and angst (great fodder for lyrics...not so great in a literary sense).
