I wrote it years ago! <br /><br />My favorite book was Pride and Prejudice, but they were all just smashing! :) Why? I think the family dynamics of the Bennetts were scintillating, and I love both Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley. And someday I'd love to find out if Jane Austen coined the name 'Bingley'! :D Julia Arambamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537687752483792374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832410260230794314.post-10214352778534779542014-09-18T20:57:11.538-05:002014-09-18T20:57:11.538-05:00Both!

(I actually love this version so much better than the earlier one I showed you) <3<br /><br />Long-term? Hmmmmmmmmm..... well, I have 3 more books planned in this series for certain, we'll see... there's SO much potential in this agency, telling the stories of the other operatives and how they connect to the first main characters. <br /><br />Other than that, I would actually like to dip my toe in several genres... I have a story all 'dreamed' out that's a coming-of-age tale which centers on two sisters living along the gulf in Florida, and a whole passel of contemporary chick-lit themes I'd LOVE to explore. :) <br /><br />I guess I'd describe my style as "clean, captivating, contemporary christian fiction". :DJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266076830751102809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832410260230794314.post-63632411967472339202014-09-16T18:58:28.407-05:002014-09-16T18:58:28.407-05:00Small world indeed!!
