Personal life
[edit | edit source]Rommelmann and her husband, Din Johnson, have lived in Portland, Oregon since 2004.[1]
In September 2005, Johnson opened a coffee shop, Ristretto Roasters, in Portland's Beaumont-Wilshire neighborhood.[2] The shop grew into a small chain.[3]
#MeNeither
[edit | edit source]Beginning in 2018, Rommelmann and columnist Leah McSweeney started the YouTube video series #MeNeither, defending prominent men accused of sexual assault[4] and casting doubt on certain accusers' motives.[5] A group of workers at the coffee company owned by Rommelmann's husband signed an open letter opposing her remarks amid media scrutiny of the company.[3][6]
Books
[edit | edit source]To the Bridge, a True Story of Motherhood and Murder (2018), tells the nonfiction story of a mother in Portland, Oregon who dropped her small children off a high bridge to their death in an icy river.[7][8]
The Bad Mother (2011), a novel, followed "a cluster of street kids in L.A. as they make catastrophically bad choices."[7][9] A review in Reason described both Bad Mother and To the Bridge as storytelling that is "equal parts horrifying and lyrical."[7]
The Queens of Montague Street (2012) is a memoir about growing up in Brooklyn Heights in the 1970s.
Transportation (2013) is a collection of Rommelmann's short stories.[10]
Destination Gacy (2014) is an account of her cross-country journey to interview serial killer John Wayne Gacy shortly before his scheduled execution.
Rommelmann's Los Angeles Bar & Nightlife Guide (2001) is a guide to nightlife in Los Angeles.[11]
