It’s been nearly two weeks and I’m still reflecting on the royal wedding. A few people on Facebook asked why the nuptials between Prince Harry and former actress Meghan Markle are such a big deal, especially in America. I can’t say my answer is the universal one, but I’m interested in their story more than […]

Julie here! I’m so excited to introduce you to my friend, Laura Hodges Poole. You might remember a few months ago I interviewed Laura Hilton from the critique group we belong to. Laura Poole is also in that group. Laura has a new release, and I loved it from the first chapter I critiqued. I […]

I love to read as much as I love to write, and when I can, I love introducing readers to authors I enjoy. It’s my pleasure to present Mary Ball to you through an interview. How did you start writing romance? (Shoulder shrug) It seems that I can’t write a book without a budding relationship […]
The Office Romance
With summer winding down, I’m finishing up a middle grade novella with our teenaged daughter, but I’m already gearing up to start my rough draft for my newest contemporary romance series, Surrendering Opinions. This will be a 6 book series about “The Connor Six,” sextuplets kept in the national spotlight because of tragedy. Each sibling […]
Oh, the Places You’ll Go + #Giveaway!
How was your summer? I confess, I love structure so typically by the end of July, I’m looking at the calendar wondering when school starts. This year is different.
