Jennie Shortridge has been a writer for as long as she can remember, knowing always that it was just something she must do. After a 15-year marketing and advertising career, Jennie turned her skills to freelance writing, publishing articles in regional and national magazines such as Mademoiselle, Natural Living, Glamour, Southwest Art and others.
Lurking deep inside her, however, was a fiction writer waiting to emerge. In 2002, the first chapter of Jennie’s novel, Riding with the Queen, won first place for fiction in DWPC’s Inhouse Writers’ Contest, and shortly thereafter, was accepted for publication by NAL, a division of Penguin Group (USA).
She has since published three more novels with NAL: Eating Heaven, Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe, and When She Flew. She is currently at work on her fifth.
Jennie currently resides in Seattle, WA, where she is a founding member of Seattle7Writers.org, a collective of Northwest authors who gather to commit acts of philanthropy and awareness of Northwest literature.
