Once upon a time, two writer friends met to walk their dogs. As they walked, they talked, and as they talked, a story was born. Though never intended to be more than a creative-writing exercise with each writing alternate chapters (ending in impossible cliff-hangers), Her Sister's Keeper took on a life of its own and went on to become a national bestseller and blockbuster movie...(in their dreams). Julie is a freelance photojournalist and former newspaper editor who also writes under the pen name Joanne Michls, and shares a cozy homestead in northern Maine with her husband, Patrick. Penny pens romances for Harlequin under the pseudonym Nadia Nichols. Are the two still talking after the challenge of coauthoring a novel across three-hundred miles of Internet? You betcha. In fact, they are currently at work on a sequel, which is sure to be another national bestseller and blockbuster movie! Stay tuned...
