Julianna Morris happily reports that she and her own Mr. Right are working on a shoreline home in the Great Lakes area. Not only does Mr. Right get along with her cat, but he's introduced her to the chaotic joy of a multiple dog household. Of course, the cat still rules, but felines are loveable dictators...most of the time. Her feline sidekick is now over 20 pounds, leading some visitors to suspect she has a mountain lion living in the house. One of his cherished pastimes is pulling paperback books out of the bookshelf. He's quite comical standing on his hind legs, slipping and sliding on the books already on the ground, yet determined to clear the rest off of the shelf. In Julianna's opinion anyone who lives with a feline-or a husband-desperately needs a sense of humor. Luckily hers is quite intact and a little offbeat, so she laughs when those books come off the shelf, instead of worrying about having to pick them up again. Like a cat, Julianna is curious about everything. Her interests range from history, science and photography, to antiquing, traveling, walking, gardening and reading science fiction. She draws, paints, collects teapots and recipes, has taught classes in American patchwork and quilting, and tries to find time for everything else she wants to do. People often ask about her favorite movies and actors, and the answer changes constantly. But she's particularly fond of old movies, like The Wizard of Oz, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, and The Major and the Minor. More recent movies she's enjoyed are Calendar Girls, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Luther. As for actors and actresses, she thinks Cary Grant was gorgeous, Jean Stapleton marvelously talented and that Sean Connery is sexy at any age. Julianna's love of writing was born out of a passion for reading-one of her most valued possessions as a child was her library card. The worlds opened by books were such magical places that it wasn't long before she wanted to create a few of her own. Her first Silhouette book was published in August 1995.
