It's another Tennis Book Club, and in this edition we are joined by USA Today Bestselling Author Jenni L. Walsh. Jenni has written over 12 books including the bestselling 'Unsinkable' and now the future smash hit 'Ace, Marvel, Spy: A Novel of Alice Marble'.

‘Ace, Marvel Spy’ is based on the life of a very real, very incredible Alice Marble. She was a Trailblazer, superstar, activist, and spy! On the tennis court, Alice was an American tennis player who won 18 Grand Slam championships between 1936 and 1940: five in singles (including Wimbledon), six in women's doubles, and seven in mixed doubles. She was ranked world No. 1 in 1939. Marble was the Associated Press Athlete of the Year in 1939 and 1940. In 1964, Marble was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. She settled in Palm Desert, California, where she taught tennis until her death. One of her students was Billie Jean King. Billie called the book "A smashing success!” and Jenni joins the TW team to tell us about her process, her tennis memories and unpacks the incredible life of a tennis icon!

Jenni also gives us a preview of her next book and as always she can't escape telling Chris and Kim how she takes her tea. Make sure you purchase a copy of ‘Ace, Marvel Spy’ when it hits book stores and preorder your copy now.
