| Introduction | Julie is a Colorado native, but now lives in south central New Mexico. She is a staff writer for the Ruidoso News in Lincoln County, New Mexico, where she writes news stories from the outer county about cops, courts, government entities, quilting bees, spelling bees and a plethora of other topics common to small communities. She also writes a weekly syndicated column call Cowgirl Sass and Savvy. Her book by the same name was released in July 2007 followed by a second, Cowboys You Gotta Love 'em, in Dec. 2008. Julie paints cowboy pictures with words and wit in her attempt to bring a unique point of view to cowboy life—be it spousal woes, cowboy behavior, rodeo adventures or simple essays on the nature of the beast called “cowboy.” From her ranch raising in Colorado to her ranch living in New Mexico and a few zillion rodeo arenas in between, she writes with the intent to make you laugh, make you think or sometimes, a little of both. She has belonged to more organizations than she cares to count and now just focuses keeping her membership in the human race. She’s been on a diet since 1970 and so far has lost 30 years. www.julie-carter.com |
