The IWJ Interviews Julie Kenner
Friday, July 15, 2005 The latest issue of The Internet Writing Journal includes an exclusive interview with bestselling romance author Julie Kenner. Her new novel, Carpe Demon: The Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom (Berkley) was just optioned by Warner Bros. and Harry Potter director Chris Columbus' 1492 Pictures. Her other new book, The Givenchy Code (Downtown Press), has christened a new subgenre all its own: chick-lit suspense. In this exclusive interview, Julie talks about her transition from life as a lawyer to being a bestselling author, and how motherhood has affected her writing. She also shares her thoughts on what does and what doesn't belong in an author blog. Articles in this month's issue include: "Rhyme and Reason: Part 3" by syndicated radio show host and CEO of CQK Music & Records, Mary Dawson; "Sometimes Exceptions Are The Rule" by Sheila Cole, author of To Be Young in America: Growing Up With The Country, 1776-1940 (Little, Brown); and "A Thing For Garbage" by Elizabeth Royte, author of Garbage Land (Little, Brown). The issue also includes book reviews in several genres including children's, fantasy/SF, lifestyle, mystery/thriller, nonfiction and romance. The IWJ website also includes a frequently updated weblog about books, journalism, publishing and writing.
