I am an independent author of contemporary feel-good romance from around the world: novels, novellas and short stories.
I indie published my debut novel, From Here to Nashville, in February 2015 and published my second novel, The Vineyard in Alsace in March 2017. Over You (Sam’s Story) and Finding You (Jenna’s Story), my follow-up novellas to From Here to Nashville were published in 2018, making the From Here to You series complete. I have also published a boxed set of the From Here to You trilogy of books. My next novel is coming in spring 2019.

How wonderful! It has been my pleasure to read your blog this past few months and to get to know you. Thank you very much for this award, it’s lovely. Am I able to display it on my blog? And is there anything else I should do, like you’ve done in your post about it, for example? Anyway, thank you again and I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year 🙂
Thanks for reading in 2013! This award is a nice way of introducing new blogs to your readers, so yes please follow the rules as I have done. As well as the post, I put a message on the About pages of my 15 nominated bloggers. You can display the logo on your blog too if you like. SD
Thank you, will do!
Hi Julie,
I’ve just had two of my short stories published in an anthology and wondered if you would review the book on your blog?
It’s called ‘The Milk of Female Kindness’ and includes short fiction, poetry, art, memoir and medical writing on the theme of honest motherhood. Some of the writers have recently given birth, others are grandmothers. Some, like me, are childless; my writing is inspired by memories of my own mother. Some of the pieces will make you smile, others are heartbreaking.
I’d be very happy to send you an e-book or hard copy, or some sample stories.
Best wishes and thanks,
Sandra @ http://www.sandradanby.com/
Hi Sandra,
Could I see some sample stories to start with please and take it from there? Thank you for asking me, it sounds interesting.
Julie.

Yes, got it. I’ve replied. SD
