April 8, 2008 | Honey Trap, parenthood
Fecklet and I were in the Lake District visiting with Anna this past weekend, which was great. She has four cats and was very tolerant of my boy running around after them squealing “KITTY!!!!!” She was also tolerant of his favourite game, which was “Remove Fruit From Fruit Basket, Take One Bite Out Of It (Even The Lemons) And Put It Either Through The Cat Flap Or Under The Grill.”
One of my favourite moments was when Fecklet lingered, sucking his thumb, outside the room where Anna’s husband was watching football, wanting to go in and be blokey, but too shy.
Anyway I am hard at work on proofs of Honey Trap, which is out in July. I so, so seriously love the hero of this one. He’s an ex-alcoholic, formerly serially adulterous, ex-rock star. He is sexy as hell. Even reading the proofs with a pencil in my hand is getting me hot and bothered. Oh, baby.

I didn’t know where else to put this and wanted to let you know that I just finished Mistress in Private and really enjoyed it! I wrote a short review on my blog. http://capitalromance.wordpress.com
I look forward to reading more of your books!
Jan Jones says:
How could he reach the grill????
Glad you all had a good time. Looking forward to Mr Sexy.
Jessica Raymond says:
Ah, Fecklet is so cute
Did he watch the football in the end?
Am looking forward to reading Honey Trap.
Julie says:
Hi Jessica, welcome and thank you for the review! It’s a great one and I’m particularly glad you enjoyed my sex scenes.
Jan, don’t worry, the grill was off.
Fecklet watched some of the football in the end, Jess, but he was promised a whole game next time he visits.
LindaC says:
That means that you’re on the right track, Julie!
Glad that you and the fecklet had a good time!

Jan Jones says:
No, no, I expected the grill to be off - I just didn’t realise he’d got that tall!
Oh, wait a moment, I bet Anna has a low grill, right? Not like my above-eye-level one.
(…whistles unconvincingly and slinks off to make tea feeling dumb)
Anna Louise Lucia says:
ggg yeah, it’s a low grill, Jan!
Glad you had a good time, Julie! I had IMMENSE fun seeing my house toddler-tested. You were both a joy to have here.
Come again soon!
Anna Louise Lucia says:
Oh, and I can’t wait to read Honey Trap’s hot hero in the, er, flesh.
