Chanel Lee is an author specializing in business, technology, and innovation. Her work has appeared in The Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, HowStuffWorks.com, Crain Communications, and other publications. She once made a phone call to Monaco for a car story that forced her to leave a voice mail in French – and got a terse e-mail in English in return. She is a native of New York City and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where she remains mystified by the vagaries of local traffic.
