Rachelle Chase is an award-winning erotic romance author, speaker, business consultant for Fortune 500 companies, and model.

In 2001, she began her writing career with an online romance writing class taught by Leigh Michaels, and her first published work, “Out of Control” in Secrets Volume 13, got its start by winning best-selling author Lori Foster’s online “Pick of the Week” contest in 2003. So, as a way to help other writers get off to a great start like these two authors helped her, she dreamt up the idea for the “Chase the Dream” contest, and begged Leigh Michaels to host it with her.

Rachelle’s first book, SEX LOUNGE, was released by Kensington Books in May 2007, followed by SIN CLUB, her first single author anthology, released in December 2007, also by Kensington Books.

As a speaker, Rachelle’s presentations include: “How to Get Published by Accident,” “Aggressive Promotion for Penny Pinchers,” and “Making the Mundane Erotic.”

Rachelle also hosts “Chatting with Chase,” a live talk show featuring interviews with best-selling romance and erotica writers, and is currently sponsoring the SEX LOUNGE Finding Derek CONTEST – an online contest where sexy hunks compete online to be Derek Mitchell, the hero of SEX LOUNGE.

She’s appeared on Playboy Radio, the Hip-Hop Connection, the Jordan Rich Show, and other radio programs nationwide.

When she’s not writing or dreaming up fun contests, she loves to cram whatever she can fit in a very large backpack and travel, plus search for the perfect dessert at local restaurants, meddle in the lives of her family members, and start new hobbies.

Her web sites are: www.RachelleChase.com and www.FindingDerek.com.
