Ayun Halliday, a Hoosier New Yorker, is the the sole staff member of the quarterly 'zine, The East Village Inky, which is as much a guidebook to New York City's under-reported attractions as it is an illustrated record of Ayun's thrilling true-life adventures with two children under the age of six. Before becoming a mother, she was an international shoestring gadabout, as chronicled in her recent travel book, No Touch Monkey! And Other Travelers' Lessons Learned Too Late. She looks forward to the not-far-off day when she and her young sidekicks will be more mobile - not that motherhood isn't akin to traveling in a foreign land. Ayun covered that ground in The Big Rumpus: A Mother's Tale from the Trenches. You can find her in Brooklyn with Inky and Milo and their father, Greg Kotis, the man responsible for Urinetown (The Musical), foreign productions of which will take the family to Japan, Korea, London and Madrid in the near future.
