I am Julia S. Mandala,
fantasy and science fiction author, reformed lawyer, belly dancer,
scuba diver, amateur photographer, cover model and cover artist (okay,
for my own books, but still. . . ), editor and Apocalyptic Redhead.
  
I live in Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, with my husband
Larry (an unrepentant attorney) and two cats, Apollo and Athena.
 
Check out my 2012 convention schedule!
News:
It's a weekend of Hell at ConDFW. Yard Dog Press is debuting the new Four Redheads of the Apocalypse novel, Redheads in Love, by myself, Linda L. Donahue, Dusty Rainbolt and Rhonda Eudaly.
The
Four Redheads discover a new even finer level of fine print in the
contract that stuck them with being the Four Horsewomen of the
Apocalypse. If they can find husbands acceptable to God AND
Satan, their new spouses will take over as Horsemen and the Redheads
will be free to pursue more important interests--like shopping.
Also debuting is The Anthology From Hell: Humorous Tales from WAY Down Under, which I edited over seven years ago, and which has finally found a happy home with Yard Dog Press. It features stories from Mike
Resnick, Spider Robinson, Lawrence Watt Evans, Robert Sheckley, Esther
Friesner, Selina Rosen, John Moore and many others. And with
awesome cover art by eight-time Hugo Award winner Brad Foster! Check out the Table of Contents.
Electronic versions of both books will be available soon in all popular electronic formats.
