Mel the Maccabee

Recently, the world was blessed to learn that "Warner Bros has set up an untitled drama that teams Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas on the telling of the heroic story of Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee." I can't wait!  Read more >

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you do not know this already, you soon will, as marketers will inundate the shelves, airwaves, and pages with items you can buy to raise awareness for breast cancer. You will be made to feel like you are doing something very important by buying anything in a pink package. You are saving women by making them aware of breast cancer! Never mind that some of these very same products contain chemicals that are linked to causing cancer. Never mind that many of these companies give very little to breast cancer organizations.  Read more >

Saudi Woman

When I was a youth growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, I couldn't wait to get my driver's license. I turned 16, then impatiently waited another month to complete my driver's ed course. When I had my license in my hand, it was like holding a tiny piece of freedom. I could go to the movies or the bowling alley or to see my favorite musical (Co-Ed Prison Sluts, which incidentally is so good that it is Chicago's longest running musical), whenever I wanted to. Not that I had a car, but my parents generously let me use theirs.  Read more >

Information about my first book, "Off the Beaten (Subway) Track: New York City's Best Unusual Attractions"

About Me: 

Unwilling to fully abandon my Chicago-area upbringing, I live in Manhattan with my husband, my teddy bear, and a 10 lb. rabbit, but insist on calling soda "pop," and sneakers "gym shoes." My first book is Off the (Beaten) Subway Track, a travelogue about/guide to unusual places and things to do in NYC. My articles have appeared in New York Nonprofit Press, The Panelist, Metro New York, City Limits Magazine, Young Children, Just Cause, and New York Family. I  blog about things at CUSS & Other Rants.  When not writing, I put my master's in public administration/public policy to good use by working with non-profit organizations in New York City.  I have an MFA in creative nonfiction from the New School.  Finally, I also like eating, wandering around cities, and sleeping.  That's me.
