Write when you can, love all the time, smile at everything that's good in life... I have been writing for over 30 years now, for my children when they were little and for papers magazines and now books... I chose Lulu as I had control over everything...Even though I have been published traditionally. The stigma of self-publishing is a silly one, as if it's good it will sell., if it isn't it won't, as simple as that.. I write for the love of writing...I give most of the proceeds to charity.... Julie has just won the Readers Favorite International book awards in Miami. 2016 Wishing shelf awards twice in 2017 and 2018, new apple awards 2019... At the beginning of 2020 2 of her books have become Finalist in The Wishing Shelf awards...
