Hot Guys, Fast Cars and the Cougar That Got Away

I have a thing for fast cars and hot guys. What woman wouldn't, right?

The thing is, I want to drive the fast cars, not drive in the fast cars with the hot guys. I want to be Letty from "The Fast & The Furious." The fact that she gets to fondle Vin Diesel is certainly a plus but what I really envy is her car.
I love American muscle cars though I've never owned one. As a teenager, my dad owned a used car lot and, before I turned 16, he bought a Mercury Cougar that was supposed to be mine. Unfortun

Getting Ready for RT

Last year was my first trip to the RT Booklovers' Convention. Attending as an Ellora's Cave author was a great introduction to the annual celebration of everything romance.

Not only does EC host one of the grand parties during the week, they also treat their authors like stars. It's a real thrill that makes the entire week a rush.

On Wednesday night, I'll be signing at the Ebook Expo and Signing from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

On Friday, I'll be presenting the specialty workshop, "WORLDBUILDING: BEYOND CELT

First reviews for SEDUCED BY CHAOS

The reviews have started to come in for SEDUCED BY CHAOS and they're wonderful.

The first is from Sonya at Fallen Angels who says: "Stephanie Julian has done it once again...Lacey and Teodoro’s story is packed full of passion and thrills that will have the readers coming back for more. Ms. Julian has a talent of hooking and keeping them guessing until the very end. This is a must have fantasy romance that will turn up the heat and melt the winter blues away. I cannot wait to see what Ms. Julian h

SEDUCED BY DANGER

Seduced by Danger is the sixth book in my Magical Seduction and will be released May 6 from Ellora's Cave.

I love this cover. Sigh.

Blurb:

Michael Corsi has one more man to kill, the one who’d made life a living hell for his lover. But first, Michael wants one last reminder of what he’s fighting for. He needs to see his woman and his son before he goes up against his foe. And probably to his death.

Cara refuses to lose the man she loves to the villain who made her a sexual slave. She’ll do whatever

SHADOW MAGIC is available today!

This trade paperback from Ellora's Cave features the first two stories in my Magical Seduction series, Seduced by Magic and Seduced in Shadow.

Not only are the stories magical, but the thought of holding my very own book in my hands has magic of its own.

The Magical Seduction series has been a dream to write. Hot guys, smart women, steamy sex and happily ever after. How could any of that be bad?

I hope you'll check out the stories and come back for more. Next up, SED

Great New Reviews

It's always a good day when you get great reviews. Today is one of those days.

Sonya at Fallen Angels has reviewed SEDUCED IN SHADOW, SEDUCED & ENSNARED, and SEDUCED & ENCHANTED and I can't even begin to say how wonderful her reviews are. So I'll just post a few blurbs and the links and you can see for yourself.

SEDUCED BY SHADOW: "...fabulous story...will snare the readers from the first page to the last...full of explosive passion..." Read the review here









SEDUCED & ENSNARED: "...continues this w

Seduced by Chaos Release Day!

SEDUCED BY CHAOS, the fifth book in my Magical Seduction series from Ellora's Cave, will be released today.

Which makes this a special day. Not even sullen teenagers, misfiring web programs and (ack!) a new hairstylist can dampen today's energy.
And that's because my story, the one I've slaved over, cried over, thought over and slept on will finally take its bow. The outside world will be able to read all about Lacey and Teo and share in their romance.
As a romance writer, that's what I strive for,
