About the Author
Edie Jarolim earned a Ph.D. in English literature from New York University; edited guidebooks at Frommer's and Fodor's in New York and Rough Guides in London; published myriad travel articles and three travel guides (Frommer's San Antonio and Austin; The Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to Mexico's Beach Resorts; Arizona for Dummies) ; and generally led a respectable but dogless life until 2004, when she began palling around with terriers -- specifically, one small terrier mix named Frankie.
Cluelessness about dogs in general and Frankie in particular inspired her to begin reading up on all things canine and, eventually, to write AM I BORING MY DOG: And 99 Other Things Every Dog Wishes You Knew (Alpha/Penguin, 2009) . She created WillMyDogHateMe.com to publicize the book, but the blog took on a life of its own.
The discovery that her great uncle shared a space with and sold meat to Sigmund Freud in Vienna led her to create another blog, FreudsButcher.com.
But there was this memoir on her back burner, covering her 25 years as a guidebook editor for some of the largest companies in the business and, then, as a Tucson-based freelance writer. It was published in October 2016 as GETTING NAKED FOR MONEY: An Accidental Travel Writer Reveals All.
The much-beloved Frankie will never be forgotten, but he wasn't much of a traveler. Edie's new dog, Madeleine, is far more outgoing and she's getting restless. Subscribe to www.ediejarolim.com to find out about their latest adventures -- and more.
