Santa Ynez Valley-based author Jamie Baker released his new novel, You Ate It, on May 25. The 368-page novel addresses school shootings, vigilante justice, drug addiction, sex, and politics.Ā 

You Ate It tells the story of a teenager named Michael who has a big idea that makes him rich and lands him in Silicon Valley. Years later, after seeing his pregnant wife murdered in a school shooting, Michael builds a new family on the Central Coast, where he reinvents himself as a chef and opens The Pretentious Boar and Ale House.Ā 

ā€œPrevious bestselling novels by other writers, stories that were set in and around the Santa Ynez Valley region, helped to put the area on wine destination travel maps,ā€ Baker said in press materials. ā€œThis story tells the tale of those that continue to live and work here.ā€

Two characters and their hospitality business in the novel were inspired by chefs Clark Staub and his wife, Jill Davie, who own and operate Full of Life Flatbread in Los Alamos.

You Ate It is on sale now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The paperback version is selling for $18.95, while the ebook is going for $9.99.Ā 

ā€œIt’s wickedly funny and holds up a satiric mirror to society, technology, and politics,ā€ a five-star review by a user under the name Bleuangel reads. ā€œI hear there’s a sequel. I can’t wait!ā€Ā
