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.

One of my gracious hosts out West who is currently staying at an old Hollywood legend’s Palm Springs estate where I did eat two three-minute eggs with tea in the shade of an orange tree, poolside. I think I might love L.A and completely reverse my position on it. In fact I think I may WANT TO MARRY IT.

Would you like one boiled egg or two? Must eat boiled eggs, dear. Work up our energy.
