Meet San Francisco Area Author...
 Julie Anne Long Julie Anne Long originally set out to be a rock star when she grew up, and she has the guitars and the questionable wardrobe stuffed in the back of her closet to prove it. But writing was her first love. When playing to indifferent crowds at midnight in dank clubs finally lost its, ahem, charm, Julie realized she could incorporate all the best things about being in a band-drama, passion and men with unruly hair-into novels, while also indulging her love of history and research. So she made the move from guitar to keyboard (the computer variety) and embarked on a considerably more civilized, if not much more peaceful, career as a novelist. Her first novel, THE RUNAWAY DUKE, was published by Warner Books in August of 2004. Since then, her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Rita, the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice, the Holt Medallion, the Bookseller's Best, and the Quills, and reviewers have been known to use words like ""brilliant,"" ""dazzling,"" and ""impossible to put down"" when describing them.
