Lauren Fritsky is a writer and blogger who grew up somewhere in the swamps of Jersey, where she first got an itch for journalism. Lauren has since written for several daily and weekly newspapers and magazines in the Greater Philadelphia area. She reports regularly for AOL's Lemondrop.com and DigitalMediaBuzz.com, and her work has also appeared on CNN.com, TheFrisky and Asylum. 

When she's not writing, Lauren enjoys traveling, reading anything she can get her hands on, riding her shiny blue Schwinn on the Philly bike path, tackling crossword puzzles she never finishes and scaring herself to death watching true crime shows.
