April 28, 2008 | about me
You know, when I was a teenager, I was quite embarrassingly besotted with the music of Air Supply.

I write humorous, sexy, emotional romance for Headline Little Black Dress and Harlequin/Mills & Boon.
This blog is about my writing challenges. Occasionally I also talk about good-looking men.
Rosalind Mitchell says:
Hello. My name is Rosalind and I like Peter Skellern.
Why is that embarrassing, Julie? If you liked it, you liked it, and you shouldn’t have been listening to what your peers or right-on pundits in the music press said you ought or ought not to like. After all, enough people liked them to make them well-known.
Donna Alward says:
Me too.
Sigh.
Sally Lawton says:
Hi Julie,
Just want to stop by and say that ONE NIGHT STAND was BRILLIANT!!!
I’ve given it a teeny review on my blog!

Helga Hansen says:
I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you… what a perfect song for a romance author!!
Julie says:
Well, I think the reason it’s embarrassing, Rosie, is that it is SO cheesy. I mean, I’m married to a muso, but despite this I usually embrace my love of cheesiness. I will cheerfully admit that I LOVE Herb Alpert, REO Speedwagon, Rick Astley, and the song I Wanna Sex You Up by Color Me Badd…but Air Supply…well, I found it all so DEEP and MEANINGFUL.
That said, Helga is right, it’s good training for being a romance author.
Donna, did you own Greatest Hits on cassette like I did?
Sally, hooray, I’m glad you liked One Night Stand!
Kimberly AKA Problem Child says:
I just dropped $250 on Bon Jovi tickets…*that’s* a bad 80’s crush hanging on. But it was an AWESOME concert!
(But if it makes you feel any better, I have Air Supply’s Greatest Hits on CD!)
Julie says:
Kimberley, that is not a bad 80s crush. That is dedication.
Christyne says:
Hey Julie! Add me to the Air Supply Fan Club…otherwise known as an “Airhead”!
My favorite is “Two Less Lonely People In The World”…perfect for a romance writer!
Phillipa Ashley says:
I bought ‘I’m all out of love’ for an ex. Gulp.
Donna Alward says:
LOL yes on Cassette tho it was my sister’s, and then I bought the cd later.
Now I want to listen to it and it’s packed! LOL
Kristin (Koris) Wilson says:
Hi Julie! I just found your website from our high school group room and I wanted to say congratulations on your success. I used to keep up with your doings through your dad when I inevitably had to have cavities filled every year, but alas my new dentist in Bangor doesn’t know anything about you…
I can’t wait to read your books! I’m in a book club with my mom and her sisters. I’m going to pick the sexiest book you’ve written for them to read and really knock their socks off! ha!
I didn’t see if you were coming to the reunion this year? Anyway, this got longer than intended… congrats again and best wishes for continued success! Kristin
Julie says:
Yes, well thanks Christyne and Phillipa, obviously I have had those songs in my head all day now.
Hi Kristin! Yes, I’ll be going to the reunion. LOL at getting your book club to read the sexiest book…I hope they enjoy it! And hope to see you this summer.

I’m not going to knock Air Supply … not when I have ABBA and ELO on my MP3 player!
