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.

Thank you so much Julie! After my hellacious last week, this is a super, extra special surprise for me! My mom’s house caught on fire a week and half ago and she is now in a nursing home until it can be fixed. Her little dog died and she lost most of her stuff. Then, my husband and I caught the terrible flu that was going around. We are just now feeling almost 100 percent better. It took almost 5 days to get over it. We haven’t been that sick in a long time.
Winning your books is the best surprise and pick me up I could ever ask for! Thanks again!
