ONE: I made my second ever TV appearance. My first TV appearance was when I was 11 and went on the news with my gymnastics coach for winning first place in all the events at a competition. (Don't be too impressed. It was kind of a ghetto gymnastics place. I wasn't THAT good.) For my second appearance, I was interviewed with KUTV's Fresh Living and got to talk about Edenbrooke. I was nervous, but it was only three minutes long, and so I didn't have too much of an opportunity to make a total idiot of myself. If you'd like to watch it, click on over.
TWO: I recently got some national press at a USA Today book blog called Happy Ever After. (Thanks, Joyce!) In that interview I answer questions about why readers are ready for clean romance, what books influenced Edenbrooke the most, and why exactly I can't read reviews.
THREE: I get to go to New York to attend BEA (Book Expo America) in less than two weeks! I'll be going with the lovely people from Shadow Mountain and signing books and meeting other authors.I'll also get to hang out with my brilliant agent Laurie McLean and the uber-cool Pam van Hylckama from Bookalicious, which I'm excited about. And--how fun is this--my mom is going with me. We already bought tickets to see Wicked and Once on Broadway. (!!!!!!) I'm going to chop my hair tomorrow and make myself look stylish before I go. So if you see me there, be prepared for a new me. :)

Sounds like you have tons of cool stuff going on! So awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat trip sounds great!! Good luck with the chopping of the hair, it is not for the faint hearted but dang it feels good. ( until you shampoo it for the first time and then realize how much is gone, remember deep breaths and realizing how cute it looks are key) Thanks for writing a wonderful clean romance, it is much appreciated. Have fun in NYC!
ReplyDeleteI just finished your book. LOVED IT!!! Seriously :) I think I fell in love with Philip a little...okay, A LOT!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to BEA with you! I love Wicked. You are going to have the best time ever! Go EDENBROOKE!

ReplyDeleteGreat interview, Julianne (on KUTV Fresh Living)! Question though...you said that Georgette Heyer was one of your inspirations for Edenbrooke. Which of her books would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING A CLEAN ROMANCE BOOK SO I COULD READ IT! I couldn't put Edenbrooke down. It is the first romance I've ever read, I think (pretty positive. Don't recall reading another one). I am looking forward to Blackmoore.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that there is a clean romance out there so that I could read it. My sister got it first and couldn't put it down. It's her first romance book ever and she LOVED it. She wants it for her birthday that is coming up and I plan on trying to get it for her. Once I finally got to read it I couldn't put it down either and want to add it to my future library. I LOVED it!! It was both intriguing and simple to read. I love the romance and adventure and you do an amazing job in blending the two together.
