Story Behind the Story When Carly and Janelle asked if Julie would be interested in participating in this mini-series, Julie jumped at the chance. Still newly published, Julie was writing Intimate Fantasy the same year that her first books came out, and she was working on the early pages of the novel when she headed off one day for a booksigning for The Cat's Fancy. There she was, heading down William Cannon Drive in Austin, minding her own business and off to sign copies of her first single title romance. When—boom—someone pulled out into traffic in front of her. Julie swerved, but couldn't miss the car, and the next thing she knew she was in agonizing pain and someone was pounding at her window, asking if she was okay. What did Julie do? She said, "no," then proceeded to grope on the floor for her purse and cell phone. Not to call her husband or mother. But to call her critique partner and beg that she call and let the bookstore know that she wouldn't be making it to the signing. The call to Mom came next (husband was in grad school with his phone turned off during the day) and—fortunately—the nice guy pounding on the window had clued in to the fact that Julie couldn't move her left wrist. Mom and critique partner arrived at the hospital about the same time as the ambulance—and Julie discovered she had a shattered wrist that required surgery. So ... never let it be said Julie hasn't suffered for her art. Here's the arm that Julie used when typing this book!
