  <about><![CDATA[I'm a writer and entrepreneur. My first memoir, LOVE JUNKIE, is coming out this fall with Bloomsbury. I've gotten incredible support from other writers. See the quotes below. I'm revamping http://www.rachelresnick.com this week. I'll let you know when it's up for visiting. Meanwhile, LOVE JUNKIE is already available for pre-sale! Here're some links:

Several years ago, I published my first book, GO WEST YOUNG F*CKED-UP CHICK (St. Martin's). This was an L.A. Times bestseller. I also have an unpublished mod-noir novel, SWAY. Excerpts have been published in Black Clock magazine.

I am founder and CEO of Writers On Fire. We offer luxury writing retreats in the U.S. and abroad. We also provide private writing coaching and occasional local workshops. See http://www.writersonfire.com for more info.

Also feel free to join my Facebook group for LOVE JUNKIE.

I look forward to hearing from you.
