About Lesley Abravanel Books
New York raised and Florida bronzed, Lesley Abravanel has covered the amusingly vapid celeb scene in South Florida for the Miami Herald and several illustrious supermarket mags since the Kardashians were fetuses. She has also chronicled the evolution of Florida's culinary scene, nightlife, celebrity culture, suburbia, and travel for such outlets as Miami.com, Maxim, The Forward, TripAdvisor, and the Daily Mail for, gasp, nearly 3 decades. In addition to penning several Frommer's books on Florida, she is also the author of the not-so-cheekily titled Florida for Dummies. On the sly, she is a ghostwriter for various organizations, personalities, and businesses. When she's not writing, she collects hot sauces, raises twin teens, and attempts to learn Swedish from her Stockholm-born husband.
