For a Taste…Read The Artist
Head over to Resplendence Publishing at: http://www.resplendencepublishing.com/
and click on Free Reads. You’ll find my name listed, along with some of the other RP authors and if you click on me…you’ll link to my free read – it’s different than a lot of my stuff – it’s in first person, and it’s all about angry sex. The Dream Series will be issued sometime next year…I hope…in a longer work.
Enjoy!
Books…Books…Books
I love to read, so it stands to reason I might take up writing Therefore, I attended the University of Iowa to become a writer and I worked with the University of Iowa Writers Workshop. But alas, it was not to be. When I got out of school, planning to write the next great American novel, I realized that I was in danger of starving to death! My roommate had been in nursing school and it occurred to me that I could be a nurse – the last thing I’d ever imagined when I was growing up. I had figured…president…astronaut…world-famous author…but as a nurse I could support myself – which turned out great since within a few years, I found myself a single-parent without any means of support aside from myself.
So writing got put off for quite a few years – lots of pretty amazing stuff intervened. Then, one day, while hiking in a slick, rocky area, two miles from my car, I fell and pretty much destroyed my left knee. Suddenly, I had to take a break…of sorts…from my hectic life and sit my ass down. The first surgery failed. For a year I wore a tight, titanium brace that stretched from my upper thigh down to my mid-calf in order to walk. When I took the brace off, and I could only stand it about two-three hours at a time, I hobbled on crutches…this was while waiting for another surgery with another surgeon who I hoped could restore my ability to walk without artificial aids. In preparation for the second surgery, and what we knew would be months of rehab, my husband bought me a laptop and I began to write – thus began a second career – as a Romance Novelist.
If you take a look at my pages, you’ll see some of my books listed. Everything there, including two more, will be released in 2010, and I’ll tell you about each one of them in later posts. Three more works of Romance/Suspense were released in 2008 and 2009 – they will be re-released with another publishing house in 2011, and I’ll be happy to talk about those too – I am very proud of those three works…They were a labor of love. Everything I write is a labor of love. If I don’t love it, I don’t write it. More tomorrow! Julia
I’m officially here, though still trying to figure out how to work all my gadgets and widgets!
If you don’t know me yet, here are a few facts:
I have an off-beat sense of humor and I love nothing more than to laugh until I cry.
I’m an animal lover and we care for a whole stable full of creatures and they all get along – fish, foul, dogs, cats, mice, snakes, horses…we happily support an entire food chain of creatures and they all know their names…except maybe the snake.
I somehow managed to marry the love of my life, my soul mate – we first met when I was fourteen, and we have three remarkable children because I figured the best thing I could do for this crazy world of ours was to raise conscious children.
We are a bunch of sports fanatics – all sports…all seasons. My husband is a runner, he was all-state in football and wrestling, and we hike up hills, down hills, up mountains and down mountains like maniacs.
I played softball, volleyball, basketball, soccer and aw shucks – was a cheerleader. Love to ride horses – it’s been an obsession of mine since I was a little kid.
My son played soccer, football and now he’s into hockey and ultimate frisbee. One daughter is as into horses as I am, she still rides constantly – she’s a real life wrangler – my youngest played softball and soccer and basketball at a very high level and she hopes to coach.
As you can tell – sports-obsessed!
Oh yeah, I’ve been a vegetarian since I was in the eighth grade!
Enough about me for now. Next post – my books…maybe!
I love to hear from readers, romance fans, writers – subscribe to my newsletter and keep up – I’ll be getting one out soon!
Much love, Julia
