Simone is Coming! Simone is Coming!

November 29, 2011 by

Simone Elkeles via Goodreads Who’s Simone, you ask? I’m talking about New York Times bestselling author, Simone Elkeles. There aren’t enough words and exclamation points in the world to tell you how thrilled I am that Simone is going to be making a trip to the high school I work at on Friday. She’ll be […]

Alex’s Blog

November 15, 2011 by

I was reminded more than once today that tomorrow is Teaser Tuesday. Usually, I pull a line of dialogue from Double Threats Go S.L.Y. and post it on Twitter and Facebook. This week, I thought I’d do something a little special. One Teaser Tuesday revealed Alex getting knocked the heck out by Travis. I got a […]

What a Tease

November 10, 2011 by

Hey hey hey! That just reminded me of the old TV show What’s Happening. Does anyone else remember that show? Loved it. My husband has a cousin that can dance exactly like Rerun to this day. Really. I just witnessed it at a wedding this summer. Okay, that was totally random. On to the teasing… […]

Just Teasing

November 8, 2011 by

This entire summer, we didn’t go an hour without talking to each other. Well, besides sleeping. And now, nine whole days. Up until a few minutes ago, I was dying to see him. Okay, I’ll admit it. I’ve missed _____. That is, until I discovered we’re wearing matching outfits. Hmmm…who’s Meggie talking about?

Reading, But Should Be Writing

November 8, 2011 by

 Absolutely adorable read byRachel Gibson. I couldn’t put it down. I’m such a sucker for a great book. The bad thing about that is I always find great ones to read. Then, finishing the book consumes me until I find my next fix. I can never manage to read a few pages a day […]

Playlists

November 3, 2011 by

Every morning, I listen to music while I get ready for work. I’ve been going through a few playlists lately and I cracked up. The songs I listen to while writing romance for adults are way different than those I listen to while writing my teen series. Check it out: After School Special Series–Adult romance (and […]

#AgainstTheWall

October 17, 2011 by

Being that we’re in a new era of television with the invention of TiVo or DVR, it’s really easy to judge my love for a TV show based on if I can wait to watch it without commercials. With recording technology at your fingertips, who wants to watch a show and get cut off by […]

Fantasy Football

October 9, 2011 by

Many of you know, I’m a NFL fan. In fact, I play Fantasy Football along with my husband, family, and friends (even the mail man). But this year, my team is the worst it ever has been. Very depressing, let me tell you. I have only won ONE game. That’s it. Just one! And really, […]

Love Days Like This

October 6, 2011 by

It’s that time of year when students have found some good reads and start doing projects. Today, I had the awesome opportunity to see a project created by a student for “So I’m a Double Threat”. I’ve seen them before but it never gets old. The first in the Double Threat series was released in […]

Twitter Addiction

September 3, 2011 by

Hello, my name is @juliepbooks. And I have a problem. (Imagine a dark room, with only a small white taper candle held in my hands illuminating my face.) Okay. So it’s not that serious, but I sure do love Twitter. When I first joined a few years ago, I did so just to see what […]
