A Wilted Willow: Revised & Updated Edition
Day one in fifteen-year-old Mira Miller’s new home, and a strange man steps through a door that should lead to nowhere. Informing her that a nation from another world needs help defeating a tyrant king with an insatiable taste for power, he presents her a choice: come with him and help, or stay behind and miss out on a chance for adventure
Cadmus Clark, a quiet boy her age who’s more than happy sitting at home all day, reluctantly agrees to join Mira’s escapade after she arrives in his world. Faced with training for battle, a magical assassin, and worst of all, extended time with bossy Mira, Cadmus is certain he’ll regret his choice to help her.
Mira has a new skill to master. Cadmus has a stubborn girl to deal with. And together they have a war to win. They might just be in over their heads.
. . . But Mira would never admit that.
Ophelia Brown and the Unseen
Coming August 1, 2024
There’s more to the world than what you can see.
Ophelia Brown’s favorite thing to do this summer has been to go straight to Pinella Pass Baptist Church, head into the musty old basement, and hang out with the ancient quilting ladies who spend way too much of their time there. After all, Mama Maisie, the proverbial ringleader of the quilting ladies, knows everything there is to know about the most exciting thing ever: magic. To Ophelia and her friends, sacrificing the fresh summer air seems like a small price to pay for the sake of learning all about the Unseen Realm.
But not everything is fun and games in the Unseen Realm like it is in the church basement. Ophelia returns home one day to find her family gone and her house surrounded by goblins, and even though Mama Maisie says she has it under control, Ophelia can’t let her go after them alone. With sheer determination and her faithful friends by her side, Ophelia sets off on an exhilarating quest to set her family free from a world they can’t even see.
From the enchanting pages of this middle-grade fantasy comes a world of childhood games turned into living, breathing adventures.
Interested in joining Julia’s Launch Team?
What is a launch team? Rob Eager says, “Simply put, a Book Launch Team is a group of people…that agree to join your book marketing campaign by completing requested promotional activities. In return, the team members receive benefits for participating.”
“Requested promotional activities” sounds really fancy, but honestly, all it is is sharing a few Facebook, Instagram, and/or TikTok posts, telling a friend about the book coming out, reading the book before it comes out and leaving a review on Amazon and Goodreads, and overall just helping Julia get the word out about her latest releases.
