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 couldn’t determine what the conflict was, but it was probably something along the universal lines of, “No teenage daughter of mine is going back to boarding school wearing a shoe that is the sociological equivalent of a crossbow full of Viagra darts.” (She might have argued that the pumps, formerly $925, were now only $559.)
