Pen-Name
Having originally written my books under the pen-name ‘Karen Wright’, when the books were re-edited and given their beautiful new covers, thanks to Cathy Helms of Avalon Graphics, I decided to use my own name. However, as there are so many ‘Julies’ I wanted something a little different. So, at the suggestion of my daughter, Rachel, ‘Jae’ Malone was created just as I was taken on by my new publisher, New Generation Publishing.
Fourth Book: ‘Avaroc Returns’ And future plans
It has taken a long time to write the fourth volume in the series but ‘Avaroc Returns’ is now available.
Sam is now 29 years old, married to Jenny and they have a small daughter they named Bethany. Jason and Sue married and moved away to Bath, and Jonah is a Medical Registrar at a hospital in London. But dark times are coming to Winterne. Queen Ellien’s uncle, is secretly planning to turn clan against clan to undermine Ellien’s rule and bring about a war between elf clans. He will stop at nothing, including murder and kidnapping, bringing despair to Winterne. Charlie, Halmar, Sam, Jenny, Morgan, and her cousin, Jericha, unite to stop further heartbreak that will affect not only the elves. Loyalties are tested to the limit and sometimes keeping your enemies close isn’t the best plan…
Further writing plans
Since hearing about a man’s body having been found by divers in one of the under-sea caves on the island of Tenerife, I have begun plans for a crime book set on the island concentrating on scuba diving and Spanish gold smuggling. This may be for young adults but there is a possibility it may have more of an adult crime theme…we’ll see. I hope to start this story later this year.
