Always.


It’s just never taken this damned long.

Claudy Conn





However, my daughter lectured me and said that I should write about myself like I write my stories—so here goes…

While I have a fanciful imagination, I am a Capricorn—‘sure and steady’, and the obvious conflict leaves me jumbled. I have a computer, yes (invaluable), but I still jot down ideas on a scrap piece of paper, or a napkin in a restaurant. My imagination follows me wherever we go and sees so much more than meets the eye, and very often my husband will ask, ‘where are you now, baby?’

My dad was the one who clicked into my brain early on, and opened my mind to a world where a girl/woman could be so much more than ‘pretty in pink’. He told me to soar, and soaring for me, was writing.

We love horses and riding and when we migrated from New York to North Carolina we brought our barn with us—and yes, I’d rather muck out a stall than clean a house! My Irish, blue-eyed husband had to have a wolf and so we brought in our little hybrid wolf pup to our home. She is ¾ wolf/ ¼ German shepherd named Cherokee. Her 3 yr. old son (Rocky) is huge and eats everything and anything he can find and weighs more than 170 pounds!

Ireland and Scotland gave us the Fae and the Druids. In Ireland you can still visit the ‘Faery Mounds’. Think of the possibilities. I have and I’d love for you to join me as I explore them. So then, come with me and let’s see where we can go…

Julia Mills 




I am a sarcastic, southern woman that would rather spend all day laughing than a minute crying. I have 2 of the most amazing daughters ever created, a menagerie of animals and a voracious appetite for reading. I decided to write the stories running through my brain and am having an absolute blast!! I read my first book, Dr Suess' Cat in The Hat, by myself at 4 and have been hooked ever since.
I believe a good book along with shoes, makeup and purses will never let a girl down. I know for a fact that all heroes inf all the books I have ever read or will ever write pale in comparison to my hero, my dad! I am a sucker for a happy ending and love some hot sweaty sex with a healthy dose of romance.
I am still working on my story but can guarantee you that it will contain as love and laughter as I can cram into it!!!!! Dare to Dream! Have the Strength to Try EVERYTHING! Never Look Back!

I like gravy.

This has nothing to do with the rest of my bio, but I thought you ought to know.

About the writing thing...

I wrote my first play when I was six and made my brothers perform it for my parents. I charged gum wrappers for admission (a steal, in my opinion, considering I had handed out the gum wrappers ahead of time). While I seriously doubt you'll be seeing any of my formative work on Broadway anytime soon, I can credit these early experiments with the first of many important lessons I learned about writing: no matter how brilliant your manuscript is, some kid can go streaking butt-ass nekkid across the living room, and totally undermine your vision.

Everyone watches the naked kid because running across the living room with your cheeks flapping in the breeze is friggin' hilarious.

Cue the lightbulb moment. People like funny stuff!

I never quite gave up on the writing thing, even as I tried my hand at being a dusty academic turned Executive Assistant (they paid me to nag! How cool is that?), but in those quiet moments when expense reports had been filed and to-do items checked off, the funny people in my head kept talking to me.

Yes, I know they have medication for that. It's called vodka.

Since they discourage drinking at work, I started writing instead. What came out was an amalgamation (vocabulary!) of all the things I love: funny stuff, art, psychology, food, people, and paranormal critters!

Et voila! The Case Files of Dr. Matilda Schmidt, Paranormal Psychologist were born.

When I'm not sitting in my office watching cat videos and pretending to write, I like cooking, knitting (badly), and reading anything that makes me laugh (like my bank statements).

I live in Colorado with my brilliant husband and three surly cats.

ZEUS INC.


          I started reading this expecting for the mythology to be wrong, and I was pleasantly surprised. Ms.Burks did her research on this and she did a great job at it. This isn't my normal genre and I was worried going into it that I wouldn't like it because of that. Yet again I was wrong. If you ask Robin what genre she writes she will tell you it is a mash up of romance, historical and horror and I am sure a couple more I forgot to add. She is right is is a mash up but a good one.
          It took me longer to read this then it normally does and that is mostly because life got in the way. but it was still a great read and it would call to me.
          If you know anything about Greek mythology you know that Zeus is all powerful, but what if a mortal took that power? Alex is a private investigator that has to figure out what happened to a very powerful figure head in the town she lives in. We follow her into the depths of Hell and back to get the answers that she needs, If you like reading about the gods and goddess then this is the story for you and I will be starting the next one soon.



                              (P.S. It is thanks to Robin Burks that I started this blog, she inspired me when I met her at ConGt *middle Tennessee's only Doctor Who convention)

Accepting Fate

                               

               Fate- be destined to happen, turn out, or act in a particular way.  What is your fate? Could it be to have children, fall in love, or maybe be the head of a company? Mike's fate is to be a very powerful druid that can shift into different animals. 
               Michael Nights has been fighting his fate for years until now when he can no longer bottle up the tiger inside and with Gwen's help he will be able to release it. There are people that want to tap into his very new to him powers and use them for evil. Will they be able to stop these people before it is to late?
                Brandy is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. She has the perfect balance of sex, romance  and action. Accepting Fate is number three in the Others of Seattle books and I really hope not the last. 
                  Gwen and Mike have the type of relationship we all wish for and some of us have had. What you think will be nothing more then a one night stand turns into so much more when Gwen is assigned to teach Mike how to wrangle in his beast. Mike has an ex-girlfriend though and she hurt Mike bad, and that could stop him from embracing who he really is.  His ex Amanda (thank you for that Brandy, I hated myself during the whole book) has a problem she is trying to drown away magic and she does this drugs. She quickly becomes an addict and so much more,
                 Amanda's brother Cole wants Mike for something else and that would be his untapped power. He tries using Amanda to get to Mike and that back fires on him. Mike ends up killing Cole but something else may have gotten loose in the process, something worse. Gwen wants Mike to be sure that it is her he wants and runs away leaving Mike to chase her down and prove that it is her he loves. 
                  If you want to know more, I would suggest reading this. If you don't want to know more I would still suggest reading this. Accepting Fate is well written and a great story. Brandy is great at transporting you to another world and I can not wait for her to transport me again.

A Chase of Prey (A Shade of Vampire, #11)




   This is number eleven in a series so you can not start with this one, but if you have read 1-10 then this will be where you head next. If you have not read the previous ones just know that this may hold some spoilers for you.
   This one is mostly about Rose and Caleb trying to get back to The Shade and the struggles they have to make it back. Unfortunately we have to wait for number twelve before we get any real answers I think.
    You still get all the vampires,witches, and werewolves that have you have grown to love. I was a bit worried that there was gonna be a sex scene at one point. This series has grown on me so much because you get so much love in the relationships it almost leaps off of the pages. The females for the most part are very strong and I love that. That isn't saying that the male characters are weak, no just that the females are equally matched. Even though the women are strong they can still find comfort in the arms of the men they love.
   The only compliant that I have with these are that they are more like a novelette, which is fine if you are looking for a short read. I will be patiently waiting for the next installment to come out which looks to be on April 19th.
(34 books out of 100 read)
