For anyone tht has an ounce of Southern blood flowing through their veins or those that wish they did, this book is going to be a tresure.” — Jeff Foxworthy

“Shellie Rushing Tomlinson is a bona fide treasure! Her Southern-as-grits anecdotes and wisdom are deliverd with wide-eyed clarity and candor– and a lot of side-splitting humor. Shellie’s goal (in her own words) is to “shine some Southern insight on the absure,” and she succeds with sparking wit and a real love of her subject.” So pull up a rocking chair on Shellie’s virtual porch, and be prepared to be entertained– and you might just learn a few things, too.” — Karen White, national bestselling author of “On Folly Beach”

It was a very hot July day in Louisiana… Shellie was the keynote speaker for Louisiana Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference Ladies luncheon. It was my honor to host this state-wide event. After arriving at Poverty Point, I soon realized that due to the size of the crowd our event had been moved outside to the Marina’s deck. We situated the ladies outside and brought out as many fans as the deck would hold. After many sighs and “Oh, I’m sooooo hot”….  in walks Shellie. I nervously welcomed her, explained our change of plans, and apologized for the heat. She took the news with great humor and began her program. Needless to say… Shellie stole the show and won our hearts! The ladies completely forgot about the heat. They laughed and clapped and wanted more. It was a wonderful, motivational experience. Shellie leaves you with a tremendous warm feeling for your family, church, and friends! I count it an honor to recommend her to other organizations.  ~Marilyn Reynolds – Winnsboro, LA Wife of LACP President – Mitch Reynolds

Most syndicated radio shows sound syndicated and listeners know it isn’t local. Not so with ATS. Shellie is just as much a local personality as our morning man. That’s because she has been so willing to work with us producing promo announcements and has even gotten involved in local public service campaigns. We’ve had people come by the radio station wanting to talk with Shellie! The recipe Segment of ATS is so popular that we’ve archived two years of shows and created a weekend feature. If you’re in a small or medium sized market pick up ATS before the station across town does!  ~Mark Aulabaugh – KSEY FM, Seymour Texas
