My luck continues with talented authors. This week’s author is Julie Royce, who writes as J.K. Royce.
Attorney Julie Royce rises daily at 5:00 a.m. to write in a variety of genres.
Julie has a recently published legal thriller. PILZ is a sizzling whodunit written by an attorney whose legal career exposed her to the dark side of the medical profession. This spine-tingling tale of murder and betrayal will leave you wondering how far to trust your family doctor.
Casey Lawrence is an assistant attorney general who believes her biggest problem is the ex-husband camped in her guestroom. That annoyance escalates to major trouble when she enters her blood-spattered study. Her ex is missing. After the police arrive, she becomes the prime suspect in his disappearance and probable murder.
A grisly crime she committed seventeen years earlier sucks her into a conspiracy between a drug kingpin and unscrupulous doctors. The stakes are her career, her freedom, and her life. The only cards she holds are her wits, a well-honed instinct for survival, and the loyalty of an ex-cop with questionable ethics. Will those be enough to win the deadly game?
Julie is currently working on another mystery/thriller, tentatively titled, “The Mission Murders” which will move her protagonist, Casey Lawrence, to San Francisco’s Mission District.
Julie has written two travel books, Traveling Michigan’s Thumb and Traveling Michigan’s Sunset Coast (Thunder Bay Press). She currently writes a monthly travel column for www.wanderingeducators.com. She has also written and is editing Ardent Spirit, a historical fiction novel that recounts the life of American Indian fur-trader, Magdelaine LaFramboise.
In her spare time Ms. Royce writes short stories. One has received first place and two others have received honorable mention in contests. Several have been published in anthologies.
PILZ is one of my favorites. If you want your own copy you will find it available as an e-book or paperback from Amazon.

5:00 a.m. to write? No wonder my first suspense manuscript is still a draft! I prefer to write after sundown.
George, you are the Patron Saint of New Writers. Thank you for your support. Now get cracking on Robbers and Cops, so we can all see the end product of your hard labor.
I like that title for George…Patron Saint of New Writers. And he’s right, PILZ is a thriller to read.
