Yee-hah! My romance/suspense, My Everything, will be released on February 12th with Cobblestone Press. Just got word this morning.
Never had so many releases in such a short period of time.
Check it out in the coming soon section.
My Everything, by Julia Rachel Barrett
I don’t have a release date, but I received some fabulous cover files from the artist at Cobblestone Press.
The results are stunning. She managed to get the visuals exactly right, from the bodies to the tattoo to the L.A. skyline.
Here’s a blurb for this work of romantic/suspense.
Security consultant Ben McCall is alone. His wife and unborn child are dead, victims of an assassination attempt meant for someone else. Grieving, he disappears. When his best friend is in danger Ben resurfaces, only to find his friend isn’t the target of a murderer, he is along with his sister Angel. On the night of his return, Ben unexpectedly comes face to face with a woman from his past. She needs his help. He learns that he needs hers even more.
Grace Adams is one of the walking wounded. Her husband died two years ago. One night she is incapacitated. A man comes to her aid. He’s the man she fell in love with years before, Ben McCall. As the passion between them reignites, Grace too becomes a target of the madman who stalks Ben. She, Angel and Ben must use their wits to stay alive as they fight a man desperate for revenge.
Coming soon!

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
