If you ask Julie, why she has written so many books, she will tell you, "I write because it is what I love to do. I totally enjoy the whole process of coming up with an idea, developing it, researching, and writing. I also enjoy the next phase, taking your words to a final product. The print medium is something you can have, hold, set aside then go back to. I love to hold and own books, so it is very gratifying to be able to hold my own work and know that it will be here for a long time to come. "
