JM Reading Live on April 7/8 for Manchester City Library

I'll be appearing in a live (virtual) 24 hour Read-a-Thon on April 7/8, a fund-raising venture for Manchester City Library. I'm one of many authors participating in this event, during which each of us will read briefly from our work, then answer questions about writing, reading and libraries. That's Manchester, New Hampshire, USA, folks, not the English city. The event will be broadcast live on Twitch at:  www.twitch.tv/mcl_foundation For more [...]

A New Podcast

  Here's a link to a podcast done recently for the book review site Jean BookNerd. In this I chat with interviewer Erik about my new novel, A Dance with Fate, the Warrior Bards series in general, and a lot of other writing-related topics. This was such fun to do! The picture is of me with my elderly poodle Reggie, who was very patient during the recording. https://www.jeanbooknerd.com/2020/10/podcast-dance-with-fate-juliet.html

Progress Report September 8 2020

Apologies for the belated report! I've been working really hard to get the manuscript of Warrior Bards Book 3 (provisionally titled A Song of Flight) ready to go off to the publishers later this month. It is all written, but I am still polishing and improving it, because it's important to make the book as good as I possibly can before I let it go. I'm hoping my editors at [...]

Cover Reveal: Mother Thorn

  Here's the beautiful cover for Mother Thorn, my book of fairy tale-based short stories, to be published by Serenity Press in November 2020. Isn't it wonderful! I was so excited when Kathleen Jennings, the award-winning Brisbane illustrator, agreed to do the art work for this book. I can't wait to see a finished copy! For those who haven't been following the news on my Facebook author page, Mother Thorn [...]

Recorded interview for Brisbane Libraries, May 19 2020: Juliet in conversation with Aimee Lindorff

Hi all. I hope you enjoy this recent interview. There are a few gaps, because there's a time difference between Perth and Brisbane. Also, the initial lead-in time is long enough for you to press play, go and make a cup of tea, and get back for the start. It was lovely talking to Aimee, and I really appreciated the opportunity at a time when live appearances to promote books [...]

Progress Report June 4 2020

Hi all, and apologies for neglecting you! With two new books coming out later in the year, I aim to post more frequently from now on. I am still active on the Facebook fan page, where we recently had fun finding Irish names for some disreputable henchmen-for-hire in the third book of Warrior Bards. That's the novel I'm hard at work on, meaning less time and brain space for social [...]

Two new short stories (and other things)

Hi readers, and a big apology for neglecting you for so long. Life has been pretty busy, with two new books out this year (Beautiful and The Harp of Kings) plus the next instalment of Warrior Bards to write, not to mention quite a lot of upheaval with the dogs - I lost my dear old man Zen earlier in the year after a long illness, and little Pippa has [...]
