Rachel Profiling

Hello, I'm Rachel.

Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.

Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.

If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

I’m thinking I am going to need to start posting on here more regularly/with more purpose. Or rather, I want to do that. No one needs this lil’ site, lord knows. Aaanyway, I may take it up a notch here, but I’m also working on another place to tack things up—so…yeah.

In the meantime, while I get that act together, here is a video of Sandy Denny performing Crazy Lady Blues—I think she’s one of the most fantastic female vocalists to have strummed—if you like Joni, Joan, Carole, etc., this is happy-making. Enjoy. Back soonest.
