about this author
Jess Riley is the author of Driving Sideways (her first novel--now in its FOURTH printing!), recently released by Random House. She lives in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with her husband and crazy dog. Driving Sideways tells the story of a young kidney transplant recipient, Leigh Fielding, who sets off on a life-changing cross-country road trip to tackle some of the biggest things on her To-Do list. Of course, nothing goes as planned, but Leigh discovers that sometimes the journey is much better than the destination." |

Jess said:
"Great collection of stories. If you grew up in a small town with a culture of binge drinking, you'll relate. In fact, you'll relate even if you didn't. Terrific writer.
