5.3.11 > In early 2010, Julia Quinn received a very strange email from her friend and neighbor, Garth Stein (author of The Art of Racing in the Rain). Would she be interested in participating in a group writing project, with the proceeds going to charity? It would require not much more than an afternoon of her time.
"Sure!" JQ replied, after having skimmed the email to the "not much more than an afternoon" part. It was only after she'd said yes that she read Garth's email more closely. She wasn't just going to write a chapter of a novel, she was going to write a chapter ON STAGE. With a LIVE FEED to the internet. And people weren't just going to be watching her type, they would be able to see her computer screen. In other words, when she typed a sentence, deleted it, then typed the exact same sentence again, the entire world would see it. And when she deleted that sentence and then typed it again, they'd see that, too. (Note: JQ says that she had no idea how often she wrote the same sentence over and over again until she did it in front of the entire internet. And the one guy drinking coffee in the audience.)
Check out this video for JQ's reaction:
And check out Hotel Angeline: A Novel in 36 Voices for one of the wackiest, cleverest, and just plain fun writing projects ever!
Hotel Angeline is currently available as an e-book only.

4.14.11 > With Ten Things I Love About You, Julia Quinn is one of the top-selling authors living in the state of Washington, as reported by The Seattle Times.

 11.04.10 > Top Ten for Ten Things! For the third year in a row, JQ is on Amazon.com's Best of 2010 list. Amazon's editors named Ten Things I Love About You as one of the Top Ten Romances of 2010.

8.02.10 > On July 31, 2010, Julia Quinn was inducted into Romance Writers of America's
Hall of Fame. To qualify, an author must win three Rita Awards in the same
category. JQ won in 2007 for On the Way to the Wedding, in 2008 for The
Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever, and in 2010 for What Happens in
London.
JQ is the twelfth author to be so honored in the Hall of Fame's thirty-year
history. See the complete list of RWA Hall of Fame Members.

1.18.10 > What Happens in London won top honors in the RUSA Reading list for genre fiction in the romance category. RUSA, a division of the American Library Association established the Reading List Awards in 2007 to highlight outstanding genre fiction that merit special attention by general adult readers and the librarians who work with them.
The Reading List is comprised of eight categories: adrenaline titles (suspense, thrillers, and action adventure); fantasy, historical fiction; horror; mystery; romance; science fiction; and women’s fiction. Each category contains a winner, read-alikes for library patrons who enjoy the winner, and a short list. Herewith, the romance awards:
What Happens in London by Julia Quinn,
Lady Olivia Bevelstoke and Sir Harry Valentine’s unconventional courtship begins when she is caught spying on him. Endearingly quirky characters, a windowsill romance, and laugh-out-loud scenes make this witty and charming story the perfect Regency romp.

Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare
The Winning Hand by Nora Roberts
Love Letters from a Duke by Elizabeth Boyle
Short List:
Chemistry for Beginners by Anthony Strong,
Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare
