Come Back To Me - release day!

If you're in the mood for a deep, dark, suspenseful love story with a dysfunctional heroine who has to fight and claw her way to the light, this is a beautiful read. Not an easy read and it wasn't an easy write, but I think Come Back To Me is the best love story I've written - it's not erotic, it's a love story.

Sometimes the safest path is to keep people at a distance…especially men.

Cara’s life has been one nightmare after another. Abused as a child and neglected by her parents, she’s quick to blame herself for every cruel thing that happens to her. And then there’s James, the only man capable of making her forget her misgivings and learn to love again.

James, a young doctor in training, is aware of Cara’s history. He’s determined to break through her barriers and build a life with her…and fails. Cara runs away in an attempt to reinvent herself and James fears he’s lost her for good. When she falls into the hands of a drug dealer and mob boss, life as they know it is about to get a whole lot worse.

Can their love withstand the demons of her past and present?

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine consisted of stressful cooking and staving off WWIII. Same as always!

For the love of Pete!

I cannot for the life of me remember Fridays!

If I could this dang thing to schedule my posts I'd post in advance, but it won't work for me - it posts everything I write instantly. Either the site loves me or hates me, I don't know which!

Here's my Jake on a hike last Sunday. It had been raining and we hiked to a creek - the same creek where Louie (died in June) and I used to see a mountain lion that the county has since trapped. Makes me so mad! I kept quiet about that lion for ten years.

The tentative release date for Come Back To Me, my romance/suspense with Evernight Publishing, is November 26th. Just finished edits - yay!
Not much else to tell - everybody is super busy. Hope your Thanksgiving is amazing and I'll see you next Friday. I'm getting a personalized license plate that says ALWAZL8!

I'll be brief...

Not much to tell because there is so much to tell.

Come Back to Me will be out with Evernight later this month. Finished up with one WIP and I've started four more.

I"m pretty burned out by all the World Series excitement, but I'll treasure every single moment.

Have a wonderful weekend! Julia
