Stacey Abrams romance novels will be reissued next year

Berkley Publishing Group, an imprint of Penguin Random House, will reissue three romance novels from Stacey Abrams that have been out of print for years.
Abrams, 47, who is best known for her work fighting voter suppression, wrote the three romance novels in the 2000s, "Rules of Engagement," "The Art of Desire" and "Power of Persuasion," under the pen name Selena Montgomery. Abrams explained the pen name in a 2019 interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Her editors advised her to use a pen name because her editors were concerned readers would be less likely to pick up her books if they searched her name online and found her academic works.Authorities made two gruesome discoveries Tuesday after a Missouri woman walked into a police station and told officers that she fatally shot one of her children and drowned the other, officials said. Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes, that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
