About the author

Stamford, CT based Malerie Yolen-Cohen grew up on the Greenwich, CT/ Port Chester, NY border and spent her formative years crewing on her parents succession of sailboats. After nearly 20 years in the financial industry selling stocks and bonds, she decided to return to her first love; journalism. Always captivated by travel and exploration, (though with an intense fear of flying) Yolen-Cohen carved out a freelance travel writing career documenting road trips and local and regional attractions. In 2011, with a new empty nest, she spent one and a half months crossing the USA on its longest contiguous highway, US Route 6, then returned to write a guidebook about it. With credits in Newsday, National Geographic Traveler, Sierra, Ladies Home Journal, Westchester Huffington Post and dozens of other publications, Stay On Route 6 is Yolen-Cohen's first book.

Yolen-Cohen created this book after driving the entire route herself. The trip was a single drive from one end of US 6 to the other and the book is also a single pass of the road. There is a little serendipity in the trip but not much as most stops were planned before departure. I like that most of the author's observations are real-time and personal. Of course, the book is not limited to those personal observations. Yolen-Cohen usually describes multiple restaurants and lodging choices in each locale and they typically cover a range of prices and tastes. Even when she describes a place where she didn't actually eat or sleep, I have the feeling that she at least drove by and probably talked to a manager and took a look inside if possible. She doesn't get them all. There are certainly good motels and eateries on the route that she doesn't mention but she does present a pretty good selection.
This is not a guide to the history and changing alignments of US 6. The author does give directions for the historic route from the current terminus just inside California's eastern border to the former terminus near the coast in Long Beach but, with few exceptions, the reader is expected to otherwise follow the currently signed route. Nothing wrong with that. Just means there's plenty of room left for the road historians.
