Writing has long been a passion of mine. I began writing poems and short stories at the age of 7. I live in picturesque East Texas with my husband of 27 years and four of my children. My grown son and his wife live nearby and visit often with my two grandbabies, whom I adore.

I work at a nearby university as a learning technologist, where I provide assistance and professional development to faculty on online course development and instructional technology. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in learning technologies. In my other blogs, IDT Talk and Tech Learnin ...more

I was going to wait until my kids were grown to get started. I got the best advise from another writer who told me not to wait, but to start writing now, even if it was only for a few minutes every day. Because of her advise, I got started, and eventually finished my novel. Don't wait! Write!(less)

Julia’s Quotes

“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
