First novel Riding with the Queen by Jennie Shortridge garners terrific pre-pub praise:<
“Skillfully
written...gripping from the get-go.”
Carolyn Hwang, author of In Full Bloom
“Like
the novel she inhabits, Tallie Beck is feisty, sexy, smart, and heartbreakingly
real. A wonderful debut.”
Louise Redd, author of Hangover Soup
“Shortridge
writes with an easy grace...(a) novel of a woman trying to stay halfway
sane in a wholly crazy world.”

HEAVEN
NAL
Accent September 2005
“Jennie
Shortridge’s lovingly-drawn characters will inhabit your soul and
win your heart. I love this book.”
Lisa Tucker, author of
The Song Reader and Shout Down the Moon
“ A delightful,
charming heroine plagued with an appetite smaller only than her good and
gracious heart. I loved the book!”
Ayelet Waldman, author of Daughter's Keeper
“Shortridge
serves up a tasty meal with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and
savory. A delightful offering, Eating Heaven will leave you feeling
deliciously full.”
Jackie Moyer Fischer, author of An Egg on Three Sticks
“EATING
HEAVEN stole my heart. It's rich and sweet, with a dash of humor, a dollop
of heartbreak, and a healthy serving of love.”
Caren Lissner author of Carrie Pilby and Starting From Square
Two
“Powerful
and provocative, Eating Heaven is a novel you don't soon forget—and
it'll give you a craving for pineapple upsidedown cake, too.”
