What's New! *When She Flew* Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Winter 2011 Reading Group List "Based on an actual event in Portland, Oregon, Seattle novelist Jennie Shortridge weaves the story of a man and his pre-teen daughter living as survivalists in the Oregon woods. When they are found out, their lives are irrevocably changed. A city policewoman is the one who understands their motivation, and their paths not only intersect but intertwine.

"Saucy, sexy, and fun!" Click here to invite Jennie to your meeting. "Smart, funny and endearing, Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe is also deceptively wise. Deeply drawn characters with their seams and raw edges exposed, clever dialogue, and a snappy pace makes this one terrific read!" —Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain . . . . . . . . . . . Eating Heaven now available in UK and Taiwan... UK readers click here. "With characters flawed, confused and all too human, Ms. Shortridge has written a story of self-discovery that will make you laugh out loud. It's also sad in places and always very real. Eating Heaven is a lovely read. It ends with a beautiful manifesto on food, titled How to Eat, the emotional equivalent of Michael Pollen's Food Rules." —www.goodnewzgirlz.com . . . . . . . . . . . Riding with the Queen still on the move in Hollywood. "Like the novel she inhabits, Tallie Beck is funny, sexy, smart, and heartbreakingly real. A wonderful debut." —Louise Redd, author of Hangover Soup
