She has written, too, for Food and Wine, House and Garden, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times.

Vale is the legendary San Francisco-based publishing entrepreneur behind the RE/Search Publications book imprint, which has been documenting underground and unknown subcultures of all stripes for over 40 years. Before founding RE/Search, Vale launched a ground-breaking Punk zine called Search & Destroy, which is still considered one of the most important cultural punk publications ever. Vale is also a “closet musician” -- former keyboardist for the first incarnation of Blue Cheer. Occasionally, finding an unoccupied piano, he regales casual audiences with his pop-classical improvisations.
