Follow Fest!



Follow Fest is the brainchild of Melissa Maygrove and runs from today until Friday, 9/27. It's a great way for bloggers to connect with each other and I'm grateful to Melissa for coming up with the idea. If you don't already follow Melissa's blog, you are missing out and should correct that right now. :D

Now for my info:

Name: Julie Flanders

Fiction or nonfiction? Fiction but I would like to get back in to some nonfiction article writing

What genres do you write? Paranormal, Suspense, Mystery, General Fiction

Are you published? Yes. My first novel Polar Night was published by Ink Smith Publishing in February. My second, The Ghosts of Aquinnah, will be published by Ink Smith on December 5, 2013.

Do you do anything in addition to writing? Not in the publishing field, but I work as a librarian

  27. Neat idea for a blogfest. Too bad I have so many other things going on this week, or I'd jump on in with y'all.

    I'll bet you're one of those neat kinda librarians who knows the people who come into the library well enough to recommend the "perfect" books to them.

  28. Hi Julie,

    I suppose you might think I'm going to make some satirical comment about yet another blogfest! :)

    As you are a librarian, I shall type this comment very quietly.

    I think I have the pleasure of connecting with you on most of those links. Even 'Farcebook' :)

  33. @Christine, thanks. :)

    @Juliana, hello! So nice to meet you as well.

    @Susan, I would love to be that, but I work at a college so it's different. But I'd be happy recommending books. :)

    @Gary, thanks for being quiet LOL.

    @Medeia, thanks!

    @Misha, I hope you enjoy it, thanks for putting it on your list!

    @Julie, I think we've got each other covered everywhere. Thanks!

    @Cathrina, I know, which is kind of scary and exciting at the same time LOL.

  34. Now that I caught up with you on Pinterest, I think I'm following everywhere else. I did follow all of the Untethered Realms links though--big fan of you all! :)

  35. *wave* Hi! I've seen you around (every where it seems) but for some reason never quite got to connect. Finally! And I've got Polar Night on my TBR list. Looks like I'll be adding one more soon :)

  43. Sorry I missed signing up for your cover reveal! I would have loved to be involved. It gets hard to do blog visits like I'd like to. I'm sure your reveal will be a success.

    I've found one or two other places to follow you. :) Writer’s Mark

  46. Dudette! How did I not realise you were a librarian as well? :P I'm a systems librarian, though my title is now "Applications Administrator". Still, I work in a library and have a librarian qualification, so I think I'm a librarian. :P

    Finally stopping by for the FF. :)

  47. @Trisha, oh, I didn't know you were a librarian too! Cool! :D
