She is SO COOL.

This is old, but it was (amazing) news to me: politician, lawyer, and all-around inspiring figure Stacey Abrams has also written eight romance novels under the name Selena Montgomery, and she gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly a few months ago about her writing career. I suspect many politicians would prefer to hush up a past as a romance novelist, and the fact that Abrams is clearly aware that writing entertaining, intelligent, romantic stories is nothing to be ashamed of (quite the opposite, in fact) makes me like her even more.
