Press Release (how weird is that?)

So, I said I'd keep ya'll updated. Bold Stokes Books officially announced my signing today. Here is the press release.

1/22/2007 Press release: New Author

We are very pleased to announce that Rachel Spangler has joined Bold Strokes Books. Her romance, Learning Curve, is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2008.

About the Author: Rachel Spangler has avoided getting a real job by staying in school for way too long, and she has loved (almost) every minute of it. She holds degrees in politics and government, women’s studies, and English, and is finishing a master’s degree in college student personnel administration from Illinois State University. Throughout her college experience, she has been actively involved with PFLAG, PRIDE, FMLA, and Safe Schools, all of which influenced various aspects of her first novel, Learning Curve.

Rachel and her partner, Susan, recently moved to western New York, where during the winter they make the most of the lake effect snow on local ski slopes. In the summer, they love to travel and watch their beloved St. Louis Cardinals. Regardless of the season, she always makes time for a good romance, whether she’s reading it, writing it, or living it.

Learning Curve – Coming in 2008

Ashton Clarke, a local Casanova with a long history of falling into bed with a different woman every night, is perfectly content with her free and easy existence until she gives in to her best friend’s request to spend an evening helping out at the local gay and lesbian youth center. There, Ash meets Carrie Fletcher, a women’s studies professor who not only intrigues Ash but causes her to question the direction her life has taken. As if this disquieting attraction isn’t aggravating enough, Ash is forced to deal with Carrie’s teenage neighbor Tess, whose bad attitude and biting wit seem to complicate every situation. Ash doesn’t want to be attracted to Carrie, who isn’t looking for a relationship with anyone, and Tess is angry at the world, but especially, it seems, with Ash. Despite resistance on the part of all three women, it soon becomes obvious that the trio’s destinies are hopelessly intertwined and the lessons in store will change all their lives.

We look forward to bringing this and other exciting titles to you in the future.

    It'll be so fun to sign books, but much like every aspect of this process, it'll feel weird.

    Weird, Smierd. You'll be used to it in no time! Yo - I checked out your pic on the publisher's site. See, you already have the sunglasses going and the "cool author look" about you. You famous person, you. :)

    LOL Susie picked out the picture. She thought the last line of my author's bio was sassy and therefore I needed to go with the sun glasses picture.
