Selena Montgomery
LITERARY CLIENT
Selena Montgomery is the pen name of Georgia State Representative Stacey Abrams. As Selena Montgomery, she is an award-winning author of seven romantic suspense novels, as well as the author of a forthcoming legal thriller. “Part of Ms. Montgomery’s strength is her characterization. [Her characters] are solid creations, complex individuals who are breathing flawed individuals. The world that they live in is not the romanticized world of James Bond, but a dangerous, real world.” (Romance In Color)
Like the alter egos in her novels, Stacey maintains a dual identity. She represents the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County in the Georgia General Assembly, where she serves as House Democratic Caucus Assistant Whip. She is also the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel for Insomnia Group, LLC, an investment and development firm. Formerly, Stacey was Deputy City Attorney for the City of Atlanta. In addition to her fiction, she has published several articles on issues of public policy and taxation.
Stacey is a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations and serves on a number of civic and academic boards. She received her J.D. from the Yale Law School in 1999. She graduated from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin in 1998 with an M.P.Aff. in public policy. She earned a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (Political Science, Economics and Sociology) from Spelman College, magna cum laude, in 1995.
