In college, I was a researcher/writer for 'Let's Go: Europe,' assigned to Crete and Cyprus. I was supposed to go to England, but at the last minute they transferred me, despite the fact that I spoke not a word of Greek.

Music videos may seem old hat now, but let me tell you, in the summer of 1981, MTV was indubitably the coolest thing ever invented. And the people who were in the videos... coolest people ever. No question. Julia Quinn coolhatindubitably share on social
To this day, 'The Duke and I' remains particularly close to my heart; I felt it was the novel in which my writing took a huge leap forward. Julia Quinn closedayduke Change image and share on social

Most fiction series are written so that the reader can come in at any point and not feel lost, but if you can start at the beginning, why not? Julia Quinn beginfeelfiction Change image and share on social
