Welcome Juliette!
Where are you from? I’m proud to say I am from and live in Marshall County Kentucky.
What
have you written? I have written a trilogy called ‛The Freckled
Venom Series’ A story about a redheaded freckled female bounty
hunter set in the time frame of 1878. Working on my next novel
Perfume Powder & Lead * Holy Sisters due out in 2016 and two
others also this winter.
What
is your favorite genre to write? Right now it is the old style
westerns, but plan to branch out into other period pieces in the
future. I love history, especially the local historic lore of where I
live and the Old West.
Why
do you write? It’s really quite simple, I write because I enjoy it.
I love all the quirky characters that seem to crop up within my
stories, adding humor or suspense. I love the new and different roads
they decide to take me down. My neighbors get a big kick out of me
talking about my characters…as if they actually live in our
neighborhood instead of in my head. We have a good many laughs about
that.
Favorite
food: Anything just so long as I don’t have to cook it. Good strong
coffee and chocolate, especially Double choc-chip brownies! Oh...and
my Pepsi!
Where
would you like to visit? Bucket list...bucket list...every where in
North America. This land is so rich in history of all kinds...If I
could I’d buy a motor home and me and my critters would load up and
become nomads.
Do
you listen to music when you write? Yes, Bluegrass or Malt Shop
Oldies
What
makes you laugh? Simple things...I find joy in listening and
observing people. Love mowing my yard when I can, local HS Basketball
and football games. Love the old variety shows we used to have on TV
and their slap stick comedy...sigh...something we need to bring back.
How
old were you when you started writing? I’m an old fart, I began
writing in my late 50’s. Kept waking up with these stories in my
head and they drove me nuts. Back then I didn’t have a computer or
internet. Someone gave me their old one....I’ve killed 3 others
since then....Well...I had never written a thing before in my life
except college papers...I really didn’t know what I was doing. A
friend of mine knew a retired publisher who might take a look at my
story and see whether I needed to hang it up or pursue this crazy
course....well lo and behold...he loved my story and WALA The
Freckled Venom Series was born.

What
would you do for a living if you weren’t a writer? In my OTHER life
I wash, wax and detail boats for a living. I love it because when it
is cold and awful out I write...why I love winter so much.
If
you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or
dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why? President Grant, he
is such a contradiction, having many sides to him that many didn’t
realize or poked fun at. I will be writing on such a situation in a
book down the road. Little known facts woven within the framework of
a fiction novel.
What
advice would you give someone who aspired to be a writer? Have
patience, this sort of work does not happen overnight and neither
does the success of your book. Perseverance, how you market your
product and watching how other authors do things. Yes...it is an
insane world...but where would readers be without us the authors
feeding them? So keep plugging.....

Book Review's By Author Migraine Central: I just started reading Skeleton's, halfway through and I am hooked. Juliette really knows how to tell an authentic western tale of adventure and love. Her book makes me laugh and cry, root for the good guy and want to murder the bad myself. I will keep you updated on the other two books and give all of them a full book review soon. Meanwhile, I hear that Juliette is writing another book to be released sometime in the future. I personally cannot wait!
