So, on to Blue Jeans and Stilettos! A baby bird has flown the nest. I first met Jordyn Meryl, author of When Dreams Change, when I judged her work in a writing contest. Honest to god, I don’t know the outcome of the contest, I was more interested in the entries I judged. Jordyn’s submission stood out. It really stuck to me - not because I found her story ready for publication, it wasn’t quite ready yet, but because she’s a dang good storyteller.
If I remember correctly, I judged six entries. Of the six, five were pretty close to perfect - perfect spelling, punctuation and grammar. Each theme was the perfect theme of the moment, and yet none of those close to perfect five held my interest. Jordyn’s simple jewel of a story about a widowed teacher, hurting and alone, dipping her lukewarm feet back into the dating pool and meeting somebody completely unexpected, captured my interest and stole my heart. I was so enamored of her little romance that I emailed her.
I am so proud of Jordyn and her friends. They took their own path with Blue Jeans and Stilettos! Good for them! I’m still in the middle of reading. Maybe a review next week!
You can follow Jordyn and her partners over at Writers of the Lake.

Thank you Julia. When you reached out to me with your encouragement, it gave me the much needed push to keep going for my dream to be a writer. While I was not quite ready for prime time, I loved telling stories. Stepping out in faith, of myself and people like you is the best decision I ever made.
Julia’s motto is to pay it forward. I join her in that as her reaching out to me allows me to reach out to others. And it feels good to help other writers as I journey on to my dream.
Congratulations Jordyn!
Julia is one of the most talented, informed, generous, genuine, and versatile authors out there. She’s what the new world of publishing is moving toward- a Renaissance author who can work all aspects of publishing. She’s got it all.

Thank you for the compliment Kat. I’m also weird as hell. Jordyn is unique. She may not have the big pubs behind her, but she has the confidence I lack. She believes in herself and her work.
Your work touched me in a way nothing else I read did. It’s that simple. Keep writing!
Congrats to Jordyn.
And Ms. Julia—you should believe in yourself. You’re damn good.
Thanks, Sandra. I may post about believing in one’s self.
Are you sure that wasn’t written by the I can has Cheez burgers cats? No wait, they spell better - the cats that is!
