Hi there! Thank you so much for checking out my books! I hope you will find some that keep you from doing the dishes, or vacuuming, or maybe even cause you to stay up later than you'd planned to (although I covet my sleep, so I'd feel guilty if I was to blame for that too often!). A little bit about me: my novel SLEEPING WITH WARD CLEAVER won the Romantic Times/Dorchester Publishing's American Title III contest. And my novel SLIM TO NONE was a #1 Kindle bestseller (it even surpassed a John Grisham novel for a day!). My work as appeared in Ladies Home Journal, the Washington Post, Marie-Claire.com, Paste.com and on NPR's Day to Day. I honed my fiction writing skills while working as a publicist for a US Senator. Other jobs I've held have included: an orthodontic assistant (learning quite readily that I wasn't cut out for a career in polyester), a waitress (probably my highest-paying job), a TV reporter, a pre-obituary writer, and a photographer (once being Prince Charles' photographer in Washington!). Oh I'm also the volunteer coordinator for the Virginia Film Festival, which is a great one! I live in Virginia with my husband; we have three grown children, and we all love to travel--between us all we've probably been to about 50 countries. I love all things Italian, regularly fantasize about traveling to exotic locales, and feel a little bit guilty for rarely attempting to clean the house. I hope you'll sign up for my newsletter so you can hear about upcoming releases and get special offers here: http://eepurl.com/baaewn . And I love to hear from readers! Please let me know what you think of what you read at jenny@jennygardiner.net. Visit me at my website, www.jennygardiner.net; my blog, www.jennygardiner.net/blog/ and my facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/jennygardinerbooks. I got tired twitter (too toxic) so stopped going there. I have an instagram page here https://www.instagram.com/jennygardinerbooks/ but haven't gotten around to posting--one of these days! Oh and Amazon loves to have readers follow their favorite authors--if you'd like to do that, you can do so here: http://www.amazon.com/Jenny-Gardiner/e/B002T3OA70/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1452867562&sr=8-1 (just click on the follow+ button beneath my picture). Amazon (so demanding, aren't they?!) also loves when readers post reviews of books, so by all means, please do that! It helps authors tremendously! Thanks again for your support! Jenny
