Happy Spring

I love Spring. It's a time for new beginnings. I know most think of the New Year as a new beginning, but not me. I love when the trees and flowers start to blossom with color. To me it's like a rebirth.
We've been feeling the warm temps here in New England and I'm thrilled. They're saying we might hit record breaking temps on Thursday - 85! Makes me want to open my pool! LOL

I'm working on so many different projects right now it would make your head spin. I'm hoping to have some exciting news over the next few weeks so stay tuned.

I know I've been bad about blogging. I come up with these great ideas of what to blog about and then I get side-tracked and they never get written. Know that I'm thinking of you all and silently cheering your triumphs.

Happy Tuesday!

Big Month!

I know...I know...I'm late as usual, but blogger hates me and won't let me schedule posts in advance!

So this is a big month - my birthday, my sister's birthday, my grandmother's birthday and our wedding anniversary. Oh, and we already celebrated my dad's birthday. Major month. And my parent's wedding anniversary on the 23rd. Wow!

I think Thomas Jefferson and I share a birthday, April 13th. I think Abraham Lincoln died on my birthday. I'm pretty sure some pretty (historical) evil people were born around my birthday too. Yuck. Lots of stuff happens in April - must be the Aries influence. We're pushy buggers.

Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and Happy Spring! love, Julia

Names Are All Over

It’s February! The shortest month of the year. I’m thrilled because Spring will get here that much quicker. We’re knee deep in snow with two more storms coming today and tomorrow. Soon we won’t be able to see driving down the streets.

Today I’m discussing names and where I find them. The truth is all over. I get them from street signs, obituaries, and television shows. My friend back in New York is working at a job that he hates and is bored out of his skull. He spends a lot of time on Facebook. Well I guess you can get a police blotter for you city through Facebook. My friend K, sends me these police blotters daily. Lately I’ve been stockpiling names from those! LOL I know I’m a bit odd, but I don’t use FULL names. I’ll take a first or last name I like and add my own other name.
So there you have it. That’s how I get my names! :o)

In other news I signed a new contract with Noble Romance. The story is called Love Revisited – Scott and Delia. These characters are from a story published in May 2009, called Rein Me In. The story appeared in the Spank Me Twice Anthology.
My story will be available April 11th.

Last but not least, my newsletter went out today. This month I’m giving away a book from my backlist along with a $25 gift card to Victoria’s Secret, Barnes and Noble or Borders. If you’re not a member sign up below. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to win!
Until Next Week!
