PREVIOUS RELEASES:



Shiloh Jacobs is planning her wedding without family, without money, and without a clue—and trying to make a go of small-town Southern life. Until she stumbles on an unsolved case about a missing woman that makes her run in the opposite direction—right into the would-be killer’s web of plans. In the midst of sorting through her tragic past and strained relationships, Shiloh finds herself on the run from a madman—and hoping she can make it to her wedding alive.





Witness as Shiloh’s new life in Virginia crumbles around her. The house she inherited from her mother is much more than a place to live—it represents Shiloh’s changed life and what little financial security she has. But her half sister is contesting their mother’s will and the IRS is threatening to take it for back taxes. She’s also discovering God’s ideal when it comes to love and romance. When Mr. Right shows up will she recognize God’s hand or let circumstances and prejudices blind her heart to the love of her life?

Here's what people are saying about "Southern Fried Sushi" (besides, "What, it's not a cookbook?"):

“'Show me,' I say when I open a new novel, and Jennifer Rogers Spinola has responded masterfully to the challenge. With words that fire the imagination, she’s introduced me to a cast of characters who’ve become my personal friends and neighbors…to settings so realistic I have to remind myself I don’t live there…to conflicts so true to life I find myself fretting about them…and to such a well crafted story that I’ve kept turning pages when I should have been doing other things. If I started reading Southern Fried Sushi with, 'Show me' in mind, I finished with, 'Wow!'” - Roger Bruner, speaker, Christian musician and songwriter, author of "Found in Translation" and "Lost in Dreams," both Barbour Publishing.

"When life serves up the unexpected, sometimes a trip off the map is just what a girl needs. Travel along as Shiloh goes on a wild ride filled with southern-fried surprises and blessings." - Lisa Wingate, National Bestselling Author of "Larkspur Cove" and "Dandelion Summer"

"'Southern Fried Sushi' is fun and heart-wrenching, deep and up-lifting. That is no mean feat. Jennifer Rogers Spinola has written a winner!" - Deborah Rather, who writes under the name Arlene James 

"'Southern Fried Sushi' is like a drop of butter in hot grits - slowly melting into your heart by creating a dish you can't put down. The author, Jenny Spinola, flavors her characters with spunk, wit and a heaping dash of flaws to keep the reader hungry for more. Southern Fried Sushi is perfect for any palate!"  - Christy Kyser Truitt, award-Winning author of 'Where the River Bends.'

"This is a great Christian fiction (romance) book... The settings, both in Japan and in Virginia were so realistic (found out later that she lived in Japan and the deep south) that I would love to visit both places. I especially love books that can let me escape to another world and her descriptive prose definitely did it with this book. The plot...while a little crazy at first... works for the rest of the story. The writing was like a fine hot pepper... slow to simmer but hot to the point and kept the heat on during the whole book.The characters each had their own believable flaws that kept me reading. The romance isn't the heart of the story..it's a fiction but the romance adds a great touch. Very highly recommended!!!! -Jacque Stengel of Good Family Reads (7 thumbs up)

"I have to be honest and say that I picked this book up because I thought it would be a fun light read. I had just finished a very heavy serious book and was looking for a palette cleanser before I dove into another serious book. I was not disappointed in the least in this wonderful story, in fact I was blown away. The title is catchy and the synopsis sounds interesting and fun. The surprise comes with the depth of this novel... I've not read anything at this level in the fiction realm in ages." - Fitzysmom (Amazon review) 

"I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful story of a young woman's search for God. I loved how God's story of redemption was seamlessly woven into the plot and how Shiloh learns to accept the kindness and forgiveness of people she makes fun of. Her search for her Savior is so real and heartfelt -- I cried as she cried out to God for answers and healing. My favorite part of this book was that the romance is between Shiloh and God. This story is her journey as she searches for the God that her mother found and the God who changed her mother's life so dramatically." - Kimberly Wong (Amazon review)

"The characters are real, slightly flawed and quirky, people. The emotions are compelling, but she kept a light touch of humor in all but the most serious scenes."  - Grace S., reader
