I’m still on the road to
discovery
By Deb
Julienne
Ever heard of the
“overnight” success?
Yeah, that’s not me…not
unless you take into consideration that it took me eighteen + years to finally
get a book contract.
Work, life, family,
health issues, you name it; it got in my way, until
now.
Today I received the
cover for my debut book “Sex, Lies, and Beauty Aids” and I couldn’t be
happier--well okay, I lied, I will be happier when it’s finally
released.
I’ve already gone through
the pre-edits…only to discover I’m a “was” whore…can you say passive? See, I’m
learning...and we won’t even go into the other over used words, now changed.
When I think back to when
I started writing and the journey it’s taken me on…and yes, I got lost, several
times, but the road to discovery…I honestly don’t think I’d change a
thing.
In a perfect world we’d
know what we need to know to get there. In my world getting lost takes you on
some seriously hysterical detours. Needless to say, I am thrilled
to be where I am now.
I’ve met some of the most
wonderful people on this path, friends I never want to be without. We’ve had fun
moments, sad moments, crazy moments and lots of laughs and for those lovely
people, I am truly blessed.
More to time as I go through
the editing process.

Blurb for Book I: Sex, Lies, and Beauty Aids
Sabrina Thompson is the editor in charge of finding and sharing
Natural Beauty Secrets for articles in Skin Deep Magazine. Her perfect little
world crumbles when her new boss informs her she will have to take on another
column or lose her job. Imagine her surprise when she discovers her new job is
offering advice for the Love and Sex column. What does a twenty-four year old
virgin know about Love or Sex, when she's never been on a third
date?
Trent Wellington is playing one final game of “Sexcapades” with his
twin brother. Only this time the con is on the family. While Travis is drying
out, Trent assumes his brother’s identity in order to save the magazine. Trent
knows about Sabrina’s lack of experience and plans to be her practice toy until
Sabrina discovers she’s been conned.
What happens on the road to "Educating Sabrina" is a wild and bumpy
ride. Getting even has never been so much fun.
Very happy for you Deb! Congrats. I read the first chapters of this romance back when you were first working on it and loved the story.
Congratulations!! And many more!
Sounds terrific...
Thanks Beth, it was a lot of fun to write...who knew payback could be so much fun?
Thanks Mary, from your mouth to God's ear.
Lil Sis I am SO PROUD of you for sticking with what you believed in and going for the dream. We have that in common. Your cover is bright and so eye-catching. Keep up the hard work and never ever stop believing in you. I won't!!
I think we're the ones who are blessed. Blessed that you never gave up, because I can't wait to see what you have lurking in that mind of yours. If your first book is any indication, I think we've got some amazing reads ahead of us.
You go, Deb!
Thanks Sis, you were my inspiration to keep at it.
Thanks Jay, my evil mind has plenty of stories...to keep you amused.
Deb,
Welcome to the fuzzies! We're please to welcome you and celebrate your success. I know how it is to struggle for a long, long, long time before making that first sale. But like you, life got in the way so that it took me years and years to make that first sale. Congrats on your release and many more to come!
My mom would be so proud Deb! I wish she could see it and read it! Love you! Congrats!
Great post and gorgeous cover. Way to go Deb. I can't wait to read the story.
Welcome back, girlfriend!
I am another overnight success. I Indie published after more than 20 years of rejections, then became an editor for a small e-press and then got a contract from another e-press!
I am waiting for final edits and my cover!
