Bio

Rachel E Dangermond
As a writer, I am working toward long-range success in fiction and am always delighted to find others who share similar literary values. The stories I write mostly characterize modern dissociation and self-actualization and reflect that self-interest leads to greater good. After 15 years in Northern California, I’ve returned to New Orleans where my Southern roots are deep. I am most impressed by experiences that inform of what is uniquely American. In this post-Katrina time, I have turned to a more intimate form of writing – my blog – to record a period in my life that has been internally and externally dynamic, challenging, and exciting – but hardly ever boring. New Orleans is truly the most interesting place in the world right now as we struggle to forge a renewed culture and way of life and grieve for all we have lost and celebrate what remains and is recreated or created anew.
