about me

"Oh, the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And don't believe what sensible people say.
And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible
Things are happening every day..."

I am a zanie and a fool.

Hey, my name is Rachel. I'm thirteen, and literature is my life. If you don't believe me, then you don't know me.

I love writing, as might be inferred from the fact that I'm on this site, and am always with my nose in a book. Which is good, because if I try to do anything involving movement... well, let's just say I've got enough klutzy skills to break my wrist flying a kite.

Ever since Twilight, I've become enamoured with all things paranormal. I dream of joining the supernatural.

In the time when I'm not writing, reading, or at school, I'm either listening to music, watching movies, or on the computer. I'm reading/editing some friends' books, and we all brainstorm together. Once we acted out a scene in an ice rink and it almost exactly fit the description in the book: disastrous.

I dream of being published one day, and already have the first seven book in a series named, the first four of which I have already begun writing. Don't tell me I'm insane; I am already aware of that fact, as well as the fact that I am a complete and total nerd, and I'm proud to be one. I enjoy my life and I don't care what other people think, which, in my opinion, is the best way to live. If you let other people determine who you are, you never truly shine. Also, if there weren't at least some insane people, some of the best books and films would never have been created!

My first book, Dead or Alive (narrated by a necromancer), about a young group of supernaturals just discovering their powers, is currently in progress, though I do have almost the entire storyline semi-planned out. For a synopsis, just leave me a message and I'll get back to you. The sequel is called Losing Humanity, narrated by my werewolf, and has been begun. (Crazy, I know, but give me a break.) The other books are titled Below the Surface, Past and Present, Coming into Power, In My Own Blood, and Of Fire and Fury, and are narrated by a siren, time-seer (I can explain that one, a product of my own imagination), witch(es), vampyre, and demon, respectively.

I have been told that I write on a college level, and while you may not agree, I hope you take the time to appreciate my work and can see in it the thought, care, and meaning I tried to make evident. Blessed be, reader, and please enjoy!

This poem describes the way it feels to really open your eyes and see the world after being hidden for months.

It's a poem about feeling alive, excited, a poem about how it feels to vanquish all feelings of fear and inadequacy in exchange for security.

Dead or Alive

by Living Pearl

Book: Paranormal, Adventure, Humor, General Fiction

What would you do... If you could hear Everything? Dead or Alive? Well I can. And it scares me. There's no going back.

Hey, I'm Makenna, or just Kenna. But not Mac; call me Mac, and I just might have to kill you. Anyway, I’m sixteen. I live outside of Pittsburgh and school just got out for summer. Between me, a group of friends, and my cousin, Derick, I’m determined to make this summer the best one yet. None of us can wait for all the by-the-pool-relaxing, camping-out-ing, marshmallow-toasting, sleepover-partying, movie-watching, pizza-eating, hot-guy-scoping fun. (Well, except Derick on that last one; he’s got a girlfriend.) But then, some pretty weird stuff starts happening, and it just snowballs from there. At first we’re able to ignore it, some of us more than others, but then we just, you know, CAN'T anymore. And it wasn’t like we could TELL anyone about it. Because I don’t mean the creepy-coincidences-that-kinda-freak-you-out sort of weird, or that random-creeper-stalker-guy-following-you-around-and-making-you-think-he’s-gonna-kill-you weird, either. No, I am not over-reacting. No, I’m not crazy. Well, ok, that could be debatable. Anyhoo, I’m talking about the seeing-dead-people, howl-at-the-moon, so-scared-that-you-pee-your-pants-and-pass-out kind of weird. Scary stuff that shouldn’t exist in real life. Maybe this isn’t real life. Maybe I’m just having a nightmare. God, I hope so. Makenna, you’re dreaming. Wake up, Makenna. WAKE UP!!! Oh, shit.

Only the Good Die Young

by Living Pearl

Short Story: General Fiction

I was ten when my world stopped spinning. I was thirteen when my universe shattered. I was sixteen when my last reason for living left.

When ten-year-old Diana came home from Grandma's house, she had no idea that the news that came later that night would alter her life so completely, sending her into such a downward spiral.
