2015 will be the first year I’ll have two books releasing. In July, I’ll have a new book with a new-to-me publisher. The book is called Lady Maybe. The publisher is Berkley/Penguin in New York. I am enjoying working with a new team, but I am continuing to work with my beloved Bethany House as well. They are publishing my December release (The Painter’s Daughter), and I’ve recently signed a new contract with them, too. I’m so thankful for great publishing partners!
Signing my first contract with Berkley/Penguin.
Lady Maybe is about a woman whose startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England. I can’t wait to see what readers think of it!
Here’s what one special lady wrote after reading an early draft:
“Just finished your riveting, heart-wrenching, wonderfully romantic, tender, & inspiring novel. A fabulous read.” –Marietta Terry
To gear up for the release, I’m giving away a few Advance Reading Copies. If you’re interested, enter here by 5/29/2015. (US mailing addresses only. Sorry Rosie! :)) Either way, I hope you will enjoy the new book when it comes out!

Your new book sounds marvelous, Julie! Great cover too. Wishing you all the best!
Thanks, Tamera!
Congratulations, Julie! You’ve been a busy woman. Blessings on both books!
Thanks, Lynn. Yes, I’m tired. 🙂
That is so exciting. Congratulations!
Thanks, Sonja!
Is Berkley Penquin a Christian publisher? I only like to read books put out by Christian publishers. I’m not trying to be picky but that’s the type of books I’m most comfortable reading. I haven’t heard of these publishers before.
Hi Shirley. Penguin publishes a lot of different genres. Lord willing, my books will reach new readers this way, as well as my current ones. We’ll see how it goes. 🙂
Congrlations! I’m sorry the giveaway is only for Facebook users so I’ll have to get it when it releases.
You can use your email to enter via the link as well. But might as well wait for the one with the pretty cover! 🙂 Thanks!
Julie,
How exciting! Two books in one year! Wow!
Lady Maybe sounds interesting (I love the title), but I’m especially interested in The Painter’s Daughter, since I am an artist myself. Can’t wait to hear more about that!
Best wishes on both books.
Thanks, Carrie Lynn. What sort of artist are you?
Julie, congratulations on working with a new publisher and also resigning with Bethany House. However you get those books out to us readers, I am happy! May you have many more exciting moments such as those contract signings throughout your career.
Blessings,
Andrea
Thanks, Andrea!
I can’t wait for your book, Julie! I’ll be in my last few weeks of pregnancy then, so I am looking forward to the pleasant distraction while I feel enormous during the heat of summer!
Oh, man, Courtney. I feel for you. Hope the final weeks of pregnancy go smoothly–and coolly!
Love all of your books and can’t wait to read these new ones. Thanks for being such a great writer!
