Hello readers!  I am working on book 3 in my Highlander series.  It's due March 31, which doesn't seem very far away, but I'm on target so far.  All three books will come out in 2011.
I also got back online last night with my email loops, after a quiet Christmas with no emails coming in due to technical difficulties.  (If you sent me an email during that time, and I didn't reply, I probably didn't receive it.)  Upon getting back online, however, I was deeply saddened to hear that historical author Kathleen Givens passed away.  I never met her but I loved her books.  My deepest condolences to her friends and family.

Howdy from an Aussie romance fan.
    Two weeks ago I started an unknown author and your debut Avon novel To Marry a Duke, and since this time I have read the following 4 books. I was instantly captivated by the magic each book brought that I was compelled to read late into the night despite objections from my partner. Two days ago, I finished Portrait of a Lover and I am beyond eager to read the next book. I have been secretly plotting a break in to my favourite romance book store (which has been sadly closed for a week) to kidnap the next 3 books as I am eager (ok well desperate) to read Martins story. I just knew after reading James story that Martin would have his own too. 
   I didn't think that after reading EVERY book both Lisa Kleypas & Julia Quinn have written that I would find an author that I would enjoy as much as them, but I have and it was you.

Dear Julianne,
I wish it were possible for you to write books at a faster rate.  I love your stories, just enough story plot and beautiful sexual scenes.  I could read you every day.  I just read "In My Wildest Fantasies" and wish I didn't have to wait until Summer of 2008 to read the next installment.  Thank you for sharing your talent.

Hi Julianne,
Just wanted to let you know how much I loved In My Wildest Fantasies.  I have read all of your books and enjoyed them all but I especially loved this one. I can't wait for the next one. Keep up the great work.

Dear Julianne,
I have just read Surrender to a Scoundrel.  I absolutely loved it.  I can't say enough about it.  Words escape me.  I can't wait for your next one!

Dear Julianne,
I have only recently come across your books.  I have just finished reading the Wilson sisters' stories.  My favourite is An Affair Most Wicked.  I absolutely loved the hero Seger Wolfe and I found myself wishing that he was actually real.  I am looking forward to reading more of your works.  Keep up the wonderful work!

Dear Julianne,
I just finished reading To Marry the Duke, An Affair Most Wicked, and Portrait of a Lover in about a week and a half.  I did not realize it was part of a series.  I was truly engrossed in An Affair Most Wicked.  I always found the 19th century a wonderful time.  Thank you for bringing me into a wonderful adventure.

Dear Julianne,
Hi!  I just finished reading Love According to Lily.  It was the first book of yours I had ever picked up and did so because of all the rave reviews.  I LOVED IT! And can't wait to read Annabelle's story in Portrait of a Lover.  I'm definitely hooked and just wanted you to know you've picked up another dedicated reader.  Thanks for the great book!
