According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/02\/us\/stacey-abrams-has-written-8-romance-novels-now-her-fellow-authors-are-raising-money-for-georgia-democrats.html\"><span>The New York Times<\/span><\/a><span>, she wrote the first novel while attending law school and subsequently published seven more, all under the pseudonym.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAs my first novels, they remain incredibly special to me,\u201d Abrams said in a statement Tuesday, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/stacey-abrams-romance-novels-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-government-and-politics-56f0fadba1b279d0476f10e07a4bd5c2\"><span>reports<\/span><\/a><span> the Associated Press. \u201cThe characters and their adventures are what I\u2019d wished to read as a young Black woman \u2014 stories that showcase women of color as nuanced, determined, and exciting. As Selena and as Stacey, I am proud to be a part of the romance writing community and excited that Berkley is reintroducing these stories for new readers and faithful fans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The book\u2019s publisher, Berkley Publishing Group, an imprint of Penguin Random House, describes itself as being at the \u201cforefront of trends\u201d and as having expertise in women\u2019s fiction, romance, mystery and suspense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Democratic activist\u2019s romance novels will be released in the same year as the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election, a race in which Abrams may or may not run. While Abrams has acknowledged losing the 2018 gubernatorial election to GOP Governor Brian Kemp, she also refused to concede and said that the election was stolen from the voters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAs I have always said, I acknowledged at the very beginning that Brian Kemp won under the rules that were in place,\u201d Abrams told Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) of the 2018 election in a recent Senate committee hearing. \u201cWhat I object to are rules that permitted thousands of Georgia voters to be denied their participation in this election \u2014 to have their votes cast out. And so, I will continue to disagree with the system until it is fixed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cDo you still maintain that the 2018 election was stolen? That\u2019s your language,\u201d asked Cruz during the hearing. In turn, Abrams responded: \u201cMy full language is that it was stolen from the voters of Georgia. We do not know what they would have done because not every eligible Georgian was permitted to participate fully in the election.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The re-publishing announcement also comes as Abrams is set to release a new novel, \u201cWhile Justice Sleeps,\u201d that is set in the U.S. Supreme Court. The upcoming book, a thriller about a young law clerk named Avery Keene, is about a Supreme Court Justice who falls into a coma. <\/span><span>From Amazon\u2019s description of the book:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"10\">\n<p><em><span>[Avery] is immediately notified that Justice Wynn has left instructions for her to serve as his legal guardian and power of attorney.
