Jenny Milchman is a suspense writer from the Hudson Valley of New York who lives for seven months on the road with her family in what Shelf Awareness called "the world's longest book tour."
Jenny's debut novel Cover of Snow was published by Ballantine/Random House in January 2013 and earned starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Booklist, as well as praise from the New York Times, San Francisco Journal of Books, the AP, and many other publications. It won the Mary Higgins Clark Award for best suspense novel of 2013, and has been nominated for the 2013 Barry Award for best first novel of 2013. Ruin Falls, Jenny's second novel, was published by Ballantine in April 2014 to starred reviews from Booklist and Library Journal.
Tina Whittle’s Tai Randolph/Trey Seaver series — featuring intrepid
gunshop owner Tai and her corporate security agent partner Trey — has garnered starred reviews in Kirkus, Publisher’s Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal.
Published by Poisoned Pen Press, this Atlanta-based series debuted with The Dangerous Edge of Things, followed
by Darker Than Any Shadow
(2012) and Blood, Ash and Bone (2013). The fourth book in the
series — Deeper Than the Grave —
releases in November 2014.
A nominee for Georgia Author of the Year in 2012, Whittle's short
fiction has appeared in The Savannah Literary Journal, Alfred
Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, and Gulf Stream, which selected her
story “Lost Causes and Other Reasons to Live” as the 2004 winner of their
Mystery Fiction contest. When not writing or reading, she enjoys golf, sushi,
tarot cards, and spending time with her family (one husband, one daughter, one
neurotic Maltese and four bossy chickens).
