Then, God love me, pack your knives and drills. It seems you are yet again in need of some expert assistance.

I thought that much was obvious: being briefed to join you in New Orleans. What the hell are you doing there, Albert? You don’t have the imagination to have thought of that yourself. You’ve been listening to scurrilous gossip again, McIntyre. Jefferson appeared rather taken aback by this assertion.Īlbert moved around the desk to stand closer to the speaker phone. He’s only the best because he’s incapable of a relationship with anyone still breathing! Perhaps he was tired of defending a subordinate for whom he had no respect.

I mean, sir, he continued in a more reasonable protest, there must be someone else available – anyone else available …Īlbert Sterne is the best forensics man here at headquarters, Jefferson replied in weary and resentful tones. No, don’t send us Albert! McIntyre blurted down the phone from New Orleans. My favourite colour has segued from pure blue to dark purple, and seems to be segueing again to marine blues.I think John Keats is the best person who has ever lived.And that’s me! Julie Bozza. Coffee gives me stimulation and a certain street cred. My careers have been in Human Resources, and in eLearning and training, so there has always been a focus on my fellow human beings and on understanding, conveying, sharing information.Knitting gives me some down time and the chance to craft something with my hands. I love learning, and have completed courses in all kinds of things. And I strive to write as honestly as I can.I have lived in two countries – England and Australia – which has helped widen my perspective, and I have travelled as well. I try to be an awesome partner, sister, daughter, friend. I admire art, and love theatre and music. Readers bring their hearts and souls to reading, just as authors bring their hearts and souls to writing – and together we make a whole.I read books, lots of books, and watch films. I believe that embodying these things is how we can live our lives more fully.Creative works help us each find our own clarity and our own joy. I explore the depth and the meaning, the fun and the possibilities, in ‘everyday’ experiences and relationships. I write about friends and lovers, and the families we create for ourselves. We can all aspire to decency, generosity, respect, honesty – and the power of love (all kinds of love!) can help us grow into our best selves.I write stories about ‘ordinary’ people finding their answers in themselves and each other.
