What Julie Leto had to say on Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007
Hopefully, I’m recovering from my deadline right now (update…not yet recovering. The book is done, but I’m in editing mode. Finished product is due today.)…and chaperoning my daughter’s end-of-the-school-year party. I found this coolio toy at Jo Leigh’s blog. Fun stuff! As if you people didn’t already know everything about me… Click on Read my VisualDNA for more on me and then click the other to get our own!
Even if you don’t do the whole visual DNA, answer these:
What gets you excited?
What is your music?
What is your art?
What is your treat for yourself?
What is your idea of real love?
What is your ideal holiday?
Where do you find your freedom?
What is your vice?
What is your drink?
By all reports, Julie Leto was a sweet child once, somewhat shy, preferring to play quietly in her room making up stories. However, being raised with three brothers in a loud, primarily Italian household did have its influences and Julie discovered her inner tough girl. That’s probably why most of her heroines kick serious butt. Writing sassy heroines has worked out, as she’s sold over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

Sorry I didn’t respsond sooner I went on a class trip to Philadelphia with my son’s 8th grade class…It was a beautiful day and lots of fun…the highlight of the day was watching the whole class (all 38 of them) run up “the stairs” in front of The Philadelphia Museum of Art and then cheer on their teacher as she reached the top ( for anyone who doesn’t know the steps are the same steps that Rocky Balboa runs up in the first Rocky movie)… it really brought tears to my eyes:cry:…Most of these kids have been together for the past 9 years so they are pretty close and this was there last class trip together so it was just really nice to see them have such a great time.
