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.

Postcard from my mama

2 notes

  • IN HONOR OF MOTHER'S DAY, RECENT IM WISDOM OF MY MOMS. SHE=BEST.
  • Mom: Question: why do people want to pretend to be apathetic. What is wrong with honest enthusiasm?
  • Me: Could be a new york disease
  • Mom: I think that people try to protect themselves from disappointment but in the end it is numbing.
  • Me: yeah, i think protecting oneself from anything is a bad idea
  • Mom: except STDs!!!
