Jessie is the co-editor of Travelers' Tales Prague and the Czech Republic, a collection of literary non-fiction about (you guessed it) Prague and the Czech Republic, released in February of 2006 by Travelers' Tales Press. Now in its second printing, the book includes essays from well-known and emerging writers and should be required reading for anyone who's been to Prague and/or its environs, anyone planning to go, or anyone who wants to read fabulous writing about one of Europe's most stunning capital cities. Feel free to order it here or here or here.


Here's an interview with Jessie on worldhum.com (one of the best travel sites around). And here's a review of Travelers' Tales Prague
on the excellent travel website, Perceptive Travel.
Dirty Secret: A Daughter Comes Clean About Her Mother's Compulsive Hoarding was called "affecting and illuminating," by Kirkus Reviews, "a compelling and compassionate perspective," by Booklist,
and "addictive" by Redbook magazine.
