About the Author
Mary Herczog is a second-generation California native and is married to Paula Tevis’s prom date. She writes for Frommer’s and Wiley whenever she can, which is quite a bit (
Frommer’s New Orleans, Frommer’s Las Vegas, Las Vegas For Dummies, Los Angeles For Dummies, and more!), and she is so happy she can do it in the California sunshine. The rest of the time, Mary works for the film industry, which is a very
California thing to do.Paula Tevis, also a second-generation Californian, was born and raised in Santa Barbara, attended college in Los Angeles, and then moved to her favorite city, where she could cheer for the San Francisco Giants in peace. After an eclectic but blessedly brief career that included stints in the computer and nonprofit sectors, she and her California-bred husband produced a couple of lovely children, and Paula happily relinquished the 9-to-5 world for the 24/7 one that parenting brings. Upon regaining consciousness, she metamorphosed into a freelance writer, and over the years has contributed articles and essays to
Parenting and
Family Fun magazines, the
San Francisco Chronicle, Citysearch.com,
Frommer’s Las Vegas, and
Frommer’s New Orleans. She is the author of
San Francisco For Dummies, the
Berlitz Vancouver Pocketguide, and
Frommer’s San Francisco with Kids. Paula currently lives with her husband and their daughters in London, but reads the
Chronicle online daily.
