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.

Copperline was my favorite song until I was old enough to know better.

I think I’m coming back around to it. I really need a vacation in a woodsy cabin so I can get all of this out of my system STAT. Otherwise I will keep looking up ashrams in the Catskills and fetishizing fair isle sweaters and rewriting my own history to convince myself that I really liked activities like camping when I was little, when I most definitely thought that tent material smelled like mud and bad decisions made with salesboys at Patagonia. Not to mention all this rocking of old J. Tay. It’s unhealthy on all levels.
