Ella Monroe

ELLA MONROE is the pseudonym for the Washington, D.C., based, writing duo Marilyn Rauber and Amy Reingold. Rauber is a former reporter who covered national politics—and all its scandals—for the New York Post. The Australian-born writer lives in the D.C. area with her husband and, on occasion, their two college-aged children. Reingold is a writer, a textile artist, and a classically-trained Cordon Bleu chef. Raised in small-town Illinois, she has lived in London and Hong Kong. But her favorite by far is the nation’s capital, where she and her husband have raised two daughters and assorted pets.
