Conference Tips with Julie Lessman

by | Sep 12, 2011 | Christian authors, Fiction Book Reviews, God's grace, inspirational fiction | 16 comments

With her brand new release, A Heart Revealed, and her upcoming conference workshop entitled A Kiss is NOT just a Kiss, Julie Lessman is as hot as ever 😉 Have you seen her latest pictures! Wowzers. Keith is one lucky man 🙂

I just finished reading A Heart Revealed  and it was beautiful. The slow spiritual arc of Julie’s characters is always well-done and reveals the heart of her fiction. (And then, of course, she adds the ‘heat’ of her fiction 😉  Oooh, sounds good. Julie Lessman, fiction with heart and heat 🙂 A new tagline, Jules?

Who better to start off this week with a bit of excitement and conference tips than Julie Lessman herself?

I’m a BIG Lessman fan because she is excellent at crafting novels that not only inspire the passion between a man and a woman, but a deeper passion for Jesus. Her fiction is called ‘edgy’, but I like life on the edge – so the temperature in her books suit me JUST fine! 🙂

To me, it’s sexual tension with class, heat without the bodice ripping, and passion with purity.

So what are The Kissing Queen’s tips for conference?

1.) Eye makeup remover … for all the times I cry during Rachel’s incredible worship, in Brandilyn’s prayer room and up in my room when I’m just feeling lonely (a bit of a joke, but not really).
2.) Laptop to catch up on e-mails, blog/interview/giveaways that always go on in Sept. due to book release.
3.) I-phone programmed with all the phone numbers of friends I am dying to see, especially the Seekers.
Thanks for the opportunity to respond, Pep. Big hugs coming your way in St. Loo.
Always my pleasure, Julie – and I’ll take all the hugs you want to send my way.
You can find out more about Julie’s books on her website – www.julielessman.com
And if you’re headed to St. Louis next week, make sure you stop in on her workshop with author, Ruth Axtell Morren.
Bring a fan.

    PEP!!! I could have SWORN I left a comment on this blog last night, but it’s not here, so I’m starting to scare myself (not a first, I assure you!!).

    Thank you for your kind words about AHR, my friend, and I DO like that tag line — fiction with heart and heat … 🙂

    Can’t wait to hug on you!!

    “A Kiss is NOT just a Kiss”. Whoa. Sounds awesome…and SO Julie. I’m a bit envious of all you ladies who get to hear her in person. Hope you all have a wonderful time. 🙂

      ANG!!! Don’t be envious, sweetie — those poor slobs are going to have to listen to me sing. Yep, you heard right, and it won’t be pretty … 🙂

      Thanks for coming by, my sweet friend, and I sure wish you were going to be there. I’ve got a big hug LONG overdue …

      Hugs,
      Julie

    Angi,
    We’ll be having live updates from Friday-Sunday on The Writers Alley. Hopefully some good pictures too.
    Julie, didn’t you say there was going to be demonstrations? 😉

      PEP!!! Are you STILL spreading that nasty rumor??? I told Keith, and he got cold chills at the thought, which wasn’t exactly the response I was going for … 🙂

      Hugs,
      Julie

        Jules,

    Pep … Keith will be there setting up my Power Point, but he wants to hightail it out of there before people arrive, but I told him I need him to stay close in case the PP gives us problems, so I am hoping he will. But he doesn’t WANT to!! 🙂 I think he’s afraid I will embarrass him, which is pretty likely … 🙂

    And DEFINITELY no demos!! 🙂 This was actually a sore point early in our marriage because he’s very affectionate when we’re alone (holds my hand in the car, frequent kisses around the house, etc.), but I wanted him to SHOW the world how much he loved me with PDA because I never got a lot of love as a kid, but the man did NOT want to be on display. Sigh.

    Hugs,
    Julie

      Just teasin’. I don’t think I could handle live demos. Whew…your books are detailed enough!! 🙂
      Keith is safe.
      At least from us.
      You?
      Well, we’ll just let you handle that one, Jules 🙂

    Julie, I’m so late to your party, but I couldn’t let the opportunity go by without telling the world I GET TO BE JULIE’S ROOMMATE at conference. The good Lord has blessed me…now I’ll find out all her secrets of making a good romance, GREAT!

    Pepper, what fun is this! I love your “questions” and then reading all the responses.

      LOL, Audra … do you realize by saying that that now you have the sympathies and condolences of countless people??? You have NO idea what’s in store for you, do you, you sweet thing??? 🙂

      CANNOT WAIT to spend time with you, my friend!

      Hugs,
      Julie
