If you ask Julie, why she has written so many books, she will tell you, \"I write
because it is what I love to do. I totally enjoy the whole process of coming up with
an idea, developing it, researching, and writing. I also enjoy the next phase,
taking your words to a final product. The print medium is something you can have,
hold, set aside then go back to. I love to hold and own books, so it is very
gratifying to be able to hold my own work and know that it will be here for a long
time to come. \"

Pleasures from Out Maritime Kitchens and has written 25 books and hundreds of
