Stacey Abrams is set to re-release the first three romance novels she penned under an assumed name.
Before she ran for governor of Georgia and became a voting rights activist, Abrams wrote romance novels under a pseudonym because she thought her own name was “boring,” as reported by The Daily Beast.
Per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, over the past 21 years, Abrams has published eight romance novels under the nom de plume, Selena Montgomery. Her first three romantic suspense novels
Rules of Engagement,
The Art of Desire and
Power of Persuasion, a trilogy originally printed about 20 years ago, will be reissued in 2022 by the publisher Berkley, an imprint of Penguin Random House, per LA Focus News.

Stacey Abrams latest novel, While Justice Sleeps, feels modern until the protagonist comes home from a horrendous day and listens to annoying then menacing voicemails â left on a landline, attached to an answering machine, that beeps in between calls.
Why did she make such an anachronistic choice for the fictional 26-year-old U.S. Supreme Court law clerk at the heart of this sprawling thriller about the race to unravel a multinational conspiracy and save the life of one of the justices? I keep a landline and an answering machine, Abrams, 47, said. I keep a landline because if your service goes out, a landline still works. And I actually have a non-digital phone attached to one of my landlines.
