Dear Readers,

 
Wow. I'm blushing. I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming positive response to my July Intrigue, ARMED AND DEVASTATING. Yes, it has made a few lists with sales, which I'm very proud of--but more importantly, I'm especially touched by how many readers have taken the time to write me, e-mail me, and post comments to different blogs and discussion boards regarding the book. It's humbling to realize I've written a book that resonates so deeply with readers. I'm guessing a lot of it has to do with the traditional-style romance hooks that are in the story--or the fact that Atticus is just plain hot! But I want to give a special shout-out to all the shy girls out there (like me!) who've found a heroine they can relate to in Brooke Hansford. I based her shyness quirks on traits of my own. But trust me, if Brooke can come out of her shell and find ways to deal with being shy--like I have--then there is hope for every shy person out there. Take heart!

Hey, if you just can't get enough of me blabbing at you (er, ahem, reading Julie Miller news <g>), then I encourage you to check out the Noveltalk website at www.Noveltalk.com. This September, I'll be a Featured Author there. You can read a brief interview and find out some news about upcoming books I'm working on. Plus, check out the rest of the NovelTalk site, and its link to the Intrigue Authors site http://www.IntrigueAuthors.com. You'll find up-to-the-minute news on authors from many different romance genres, plus all kinds of contests, chats, interviews and more.

Can't wait for more to read in my Brotherhood of the Badge mini-series? Then don't. Even though it's an October release, PRIVATE S.W.A.T. TAKEOVER is available right now at http://www.eHarlequin.com. You might want to get an early start because it's a slam-bam action kind of book with S.W.A.T. sharpshooter Holden Kincaid playing the role of bodyguard and dog-sitter (<g> the book will tell you more about that one!) for the woman who witnessed his father's murder, Liza Parrish. A woman with a tragic past herself, Liza would love to identify the killer or killers for the grieving Kincaid family. But traumatic amnesia has turned her memories of that night into murky chaos. The security Holden's arms and skills provide may be the one thing that can make her feel safe enough to remember the truth. But the bad guys have no problems with their memory. And they're determined to stop Liza permanently--before she can recall enough to put them away. Holden, of course--and the rest of his Kincaid brothers--might have something to say about that outcome, however. Fasten your seat-belts, readers. This installment of the Precinct: Brotherhood of the Badge mini-series is a fast-paced thriller.

Before I wrap things up, I want to take a moment to congratulate the winner of my Summer Book GiveAway Contest--Lisa White of Ontario, Canada. Congrats, Lisa! She won a signed copy of PRIVATE S.W.A.T. TAKEOVER, plus a copy of an earlier Precinct book. Thank you to everyone who entered! I'm pleased to say that every entry had the correct answer! Be sure to look for news of my Autumn Book GiveAway Contest later this year.

I've just finished up my Harlequin Blaze for April of 2009. It was called THE RIDE OF HIS LIFE, but the title has been changed to OUT OF CONTROL. It was a whole new world for me to learn about drag-racing and just how fast those cars can go! And, because it's a Blaze, wink-wink, the relationship between undercover cop Black Jack Riley and auto mechanic Alexandra Morgan moves along at a pretty good clip, too. At their first meeting, Jack mistakes Alex for a hooker. From there on out? Well, let's just say that working side by side with Alex makes Jack feel like his world is spinning out of control.

Right now, since I've sent my son off for his first year of college and I'm dealing with a little bit of empty-nest syndrome, I'm diving into my writing. I'm starting work on my next Intrigue, tentatively titled BLOOD TRAIL. It's part of the Kenner County Crime Unit continuity series that will be out in 2009. Should be exciting!

Remember, you can always contact me directly through my website if you have questions or comments you'd like to share in the Line-Up Room.

Happy Reading!

Julie Miller
