My name is Julie, and I am an author. I've been writing for over forty years and can't think of anything I'd rather do. Creating worlds inside my head and putting them into words is my passion. I live in the Midwest with my daughter Sarah and my 17-year-old cat, Ramesses. My daughters introduced me to the world of fanfiction and yaoi, and m/m romance. I took to it like a duck to water, and began to write my own, starting with the Harry Potter fandom. Eventually I progressed to original characters and stories. When I'm not writing or working, I watch TV shows and movies, and enjoy a few crafts: crocheting, cross stitch, knitting and crocheting. I try to keep up with all my children, who have scattered to the winds, other than Sarah. I write in different genres within the m/m category: paranormal, contemporary, humor, mystery, science fiction, supernatural, historical, bdsm, and anything else I can think of. I like to try new things and push the envelope as much as I can. If I leave someone with something or something they remember after they finish my book, or something to think about they've never looked at like that before, then I consider that I've done a good job.

Wyatt Findley is an up-and-coming artist, attending a prestigious art institute in St. Louis. His mentor, Lukas Callahan, has snagged a sweet house-sitting job for him in a gorgeous home in a well-to-do part of town. Wyatt can’t help but notice two men who live just across the street.
They make an odd couple, since there must be a good twenty years difference between them. And yet there is something about the younger man that calls to Wyatt.
Shylor Lind has been living with Randy Grant for fifteen years, ever since Grant hired Shy’s mother as his live-in housekeeper. But five years ago, their relationship changed when Shy’s mother sold him to Grant and took the money and ran. Since then, Randy has been training Shy to be his submissive, dominating him in every way. There is nothing Shy can do about the situation, and he has nowhere to go, no one to turn to.
And then Wyatt enters his life… and nothing will ever be the same, as Wyatt engages in a battle for Shy’s very soul.

Civil War and Broken Hearts
Rose and Thorne: Book Two
Hollywood comes to Roanoke when a major film studio announces they’re shooting part of their Civil War film at a local plantation. Vinnie is dismayed to discover the lead actress is none other than the beautiful Caroline St. Clair. Ethan and Vinnie met her in LA the previous Halloween, and Vinnie still hates her for hitting on his man. Ethan reassures his partner that Roanoke is big enough for all of them to coexist without running into one another.
But Fate has it in for Vinnie and Ethan, and they’re assigned to a new case involving the actress. Vinnie has no choice—he has to play nice. It’s small consolation that his new undercover identity involves Hollywood heartthrob Troy McGarrett, who is very handsome and openly gay. Troy also isn’t shy about letting Vinnie know he finds him attractive.
Jealousy abounds, and time is not on Vinnie and Ethan’s side. If they don’t solve the case before the film shoot is done, there’s a good chance they’ll be separated for the first time since they were partnered. Assuming Vinnie doesn’t kill Caroline St. Clair himself.
