About the Author

Judy Reiser personally interviewed thousands of people for her three acclaimed books:
•Admit It, You're Crazy! Quirks, Idiosyncrasies, and Irrational Behavior
•And I Thought I Was Crazy! Quirks, Idiosyncrasies and Meshugaas
•In a Cell Phone Minute

Her books have received much media attention with reviews and excerpts in prestigious publications such as The New York Times Book Review, AARP Bulletin, Reader's Digest, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan and many others as well as speaking engagements and appearances on hundreds of national and international radio and television shows including The Today Show.

Judy began collecting quirks when she divulged something crazy she does (she doesn't remember which one it was–there are so many) and her friend shared something he does. After having a good laugh about it, she soon discovered that everyone has quirks. She has been observing, gathering, marveling at and laughing about quirks ever since. She is recognized for helping to bring the subject of quirks and idiosyncrasies to the forefront.

Judy looked at her cell phone one day and thought, "I wonder if there are any good stories here?" She began inquiring and found that there were very entertaining stories. She collected them and the result is, "In a Cell Phone Minute" . The print edition of the book is shaped like and opens vertically like a flip-top phone.

In addition to being the author, Judy is also the designer of her books.
