To all who have visited my website this year, I'd like to say thanks and wish you a happy, healthy, peaceful and fun festive season. My sympathies to anyone who has been suffering in any way and may 2019 bring only good things.
I shall be spending Christmas quietly with my family but won't be able to keep away from the keyboard.
I've just started writing another novel, a slightly macabre story about a middle-aged widower who transforms a stone barn into a small second-hand shop, but with very unexpected results.
This December, I've reached my first million words. The pic below shows all the titles but I can assure you that my writing is far better than my photography, in case any doubts have crept in.
Bye until 2019

Hi. I've been a bit remiss at posting but have been writing furiously. I'm in the final stages of a novella, entitled THIEF, cover shown below. It's one of my psychological mysteries with twists and turns and an unexpected (maybe?) ending. As usual, it's being pre-read to iron out any problems before I publish. Will keep you informed.
On the poetry side, I'm reorganising my writing. I now have three themed books, RHYME AROUND THE LAKES (nature), POLITICS IN RHYME, ENTWINED IN RHYME (aspects of love and attraction). Now I'm reorganising my other poetry and including lots of new stuff in one book, entitled RHYME FEST. There'll be 96 poems in all. Nearly finished but still some work to do.
Don't forget, you can read synopses, first pages of published books, without obligation. Go to www.feedaread.com and search Julia Patten. All my books will pop up, even ones not yet installed on my book page here.
Take care. Julie
