Author Spotlight: Rachel Cohn

This is month two for my author spotlight and I will be featuring Rachel Cohn.

I picked up and read Gingerbread (I had to request it at B&N) while I was back home in San Diego. I read it quite quickly, despite the fact that I was helping out my brother & his wife prepare for their church wedding. I enjoyed the book and just knew I wanted to read more of Cohn's books.

Now, I dedicate September to enjoy a handful of them.

Here's a little about Rachel Cohn...
Rachel was born on December 14, 1968 in Silver Spring, Maryland and grew up in the DC area. At the age of seventeen, she went off to Barnard College and graduated with a B.A. in Political Science. She moved out to San Francisco and started working at a law firm. This is when Rachel started writing her stories. Now, she lives in Manhattan where she is on the search for a great cup of cappuccino.
