Tucker Calls Reissued Stacey Abrams’ Romance Novels ‘Soft-Core Porn’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GALLAGHER: “If you are in the market for a romance novel like power of persuasion” or “Rules of engagement,” you can expect it from $92 to $3200 a copy. That is mostly because the books are out of print and Selena Montgomery is current political activist, Stacey Abrams. You know, romance writer turned political fighter. These days, she is known for using phrases like moral imperative and equal justice. But during her time as steamy Selena, she got hearts fluttering using terms like like embracing. Despite having a pen name, she isn’t trying to shy away from her past. In fact, now that three of the books are about to be reissued, she is trying to bring up interest by noting that it showcases women of color as nuanced, determined, and exciting. The characters apparently work at the U.S. Government espionage organization and when they are not trying to save the world from foreign adversaries, they can be found, of course, in the throes of passion voting here “In the kiss, she tasted passion, forgotten chemistry, and her alarm at the loss of control. He felt her tremble as he kissed her hand in the moonlight.” Not exactly going to make him blush, but the reissue of novels will be published under her real name as well as her nom de plume. Tucker.”
