About this author

After graduating from law school, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie James clerked for the United States Court of Appeals. She then practiced law with one of the nation's largest firms for several years until she began writing screenplays. After Hollywood producers optioned two of her scripts, she decided to leave the practice of law to write full-time. Her books have been translated into thirteen languages and Julie’s most recent novel, ABOUT THAT NIGHT, is now available.

Julie James lives with her husband and two children in Chicago, where she is working on her next novel.

Hey everyone! I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile–a video interview I did with Morgan at RT BookReviews Magazine. In it, I talk about a few–ahem–problems I had trying to write About That Night with a newborn baby, writing dialogue, the research I do for the FBI/US Attorney books, balancing family and work, and how my AUSA friends probably wonder if I even went to law school.


Thanks to RT...

Laura Barrantes I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved About That Night. As much as I was dying to finish it in a single night, I tried to read it slow to make it last...sad that I won't have another to read for a long time. Your books are truly amazing. I have probably read each one at least 3 times and have recommended you to all my friends. Please keep writing!!!

Kelly22 Thank you for accepting my request! I simply just adore your beautiful books. So far, I’ve read all of them!... I literally forget everything while I'm reading your books and finish it on the spot! The most recent one ‘About That Night’ was no different. When I had it I intended only to take a glimpse at the first chapter and continue later may be, but couldn’t put down until the whole thing was over. No surprise there! :)

Thank You Julie for writing such beautiful contemporaries :) Honestly, can’t wait for your next installment !...: )

message 40: by Erika

Erika Thanks Julie for accepting my friend request. I appreciate it very much. I'm a newbie in goodreads but i've been reading and collecting romance books for a long time. I read Just The Sexiest Man Alive few weeks ago and i'm your fan ever since. You've created a book with great characters (Taylor and Jason are perfect), full of surprise plots, infectious humours, memorable words, and a heart-warming romance. Definitely among my collections this is one of the very best. I also enjoyed reading Practice Makes Perfect (made me laugh like a crazy) and Something About You (still on progress). If i had a bad day then i'll remember to read JTSMA again (it's my favourite so far) to enlighten my day without getting bored. Thank you for letting us enjoy your talent in writing lovely romances. Looking forward your other books. Best wishes :)


♥Rachel♥ Thanks for the add Julie. I read and loved Something About You and A Lot Like Love. Can't wait for About That Night! Your books are a lot of fun with the witty banter and the push and pull between the characters. I just read the excerpt for About That Night on your website, just makes April seem so far...
Thanks again for the add. :)
