When my first novel, Lady of Milkweed Manor, released nearly 17 years ago, I didn’t think ahead and imagine I’d have twenty books someday, I was just thankful to have one!
I know lots of authors have written many more novels (including several authors here on Inspired by Life and Fiction) but I am still so very thankful. Being a published author is my lifelong dream come true. And being an author of twenty published novels? That calls for a celebration in my book. (Pun intended.) 🙂
If you happen to live near Minneapolis-St. Paul, I invite you to join me for the launch of my new novel, The Seaside Homecoming. Since we’ll be celebrating the release of my 20th novel, there will be cake and small gifts!
I’ll hope to see you there:
Tuesday, December 3, 2024, 7- 8 pm central time
Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 2100 Snelling Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113
My talk starts at 7:00. Come early to grab a chair and visit. Too far to attend? You can watch a livestream on my Facebook page.
Either way, my sincerest appreciation to all of you—fellow writers and loyal readers alike—who have supported and befriended me during my writing journey. And thank you for reading my books!

Congratulations! I’ve enjoyed all of your books that I’ve read and hope you’ll write many more!
I’ve enjoyed all those books! Congratulations on 20 novels. I have an early copy of your newest and look forward to reading it soon. I hope there will be 20 more!
Congratulations, Julie! What a remarkable accomplishment! I’ve only read a couple of your books so far (and have loved them!), but am looking forward to reading more before the Mississippi River Reader Retreat next summer.
What a wonderful milestone, Julie! Congratulations! I haven’t read all 20, but I’ve read several and really enjoy your writing. I have something else on my calendar Dec. 3 😕 but I hope they might record the livestream!
Congratulations Julie! I have read and enjoyed them all. I have pre-ordered the new one and looking forward to reading it with a friend.
Since I live in Virginia, I will not be able to make it to the party, but will try to watch. Have a great time!
Also, happy Thanksgiving.
Huge congrats, Julie. I have loved the Regency adventures you’ve taken me on through your books. Here’s to the next twenty!!
Dear Julie, I have read nearly all of your novels at least once and have loved them! My favorite ones are the Ivy Hill series; I’ve re-read them all! I recently re-read the first two of your Devonshire Shores books, to refresh my memory (in preparation for your newest one coming out next week) and was amazed at how much I’d forgotten of the details – which goes to show, it’s also fun to re-read one’s favorite books! I pre-ordered the 3rd book (back in the summer!) from Christianbooks.com and they’ve just sent me an email saying it’s been shipped, which is great! Thanks so much for many fun hours I’ve had when reading your books; they are never a disappointment!!!
I’ve read all but the last one! And have enjoyed them all. Keep up the good work.
20 books is a milestone worthy of a big celebration! CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you have a great time Tuesday night at your book launch party. 🙂
Congratulations your novel milestone!I love the promotional anniversary postcards.
I’ve read many of these novels from my local public library. I was a late comer to discovering your novels I own the complete “Ivy Hill” series. Thanks for these great stories and more to come.
Wishing blog readers a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!
Congratulations, Julie! What an achievement! I haven’t read them all, but I’ve put a serious dent in the lineup! Loved each one, particularly the first two Devonshire shores titles. Have a wonderful time at your Minneapolis event!
Congrats! I’ve loved every one of your books and have collected them all.
