I am so excited that I have finally published my first romance novel 🎉. I had this dream since I was so young, I cannot even remember. It took several years to get to this point. As I am sure this is the case for anyone who wants to write captivating stories and take the reader on new adventures.

The writing process is not just the year or two that it takes to develop the story, it is all the earlier experiences that have formed the views, beliefs, and inspiration as the seed is first formed.
In this story, I wanted to take the reader to new adventures, imagination, and inspiration.
I am deeply humbled and excited to share with you Finding Juliana in Italy.
Below is the description of the book as it is presented to the world:
“Finding Juliana in Italy,” author Jasmine Goodwin weaves an enchanting tale of discovery and transformation. The story unfolds with Juliana and her brother, Andres, embarking on a poignant quest to uncover the secrets of their family’s past, triggered by the loss of their parents.
Goodwin’s narrative beautifully captures the essence of love and compassion, illustrating how life’s trajectory can pivot in an instant. Juliana and Andres, bound by a profound sibling connection, find themselves on an exhilarating odyssey of self-discovery. Little did Juliana anticipate that this journey would introduce her to a person who would irrevocably alter the course of her life.
Within these pages, readers will be immersed in a profound exploration of emotions, as the story poignantly reminds us that love often appears in the most unexpected places. Juliana, ensnared in the confines of loneliness, had resigned herself to this solitary existence until Paolo entered her life, injecting it with newfound purpose.
Through her book, Jasmine Goodwin paints a vivid canvas of hope, offering readers a glimpse of a fairytale romance that resides within the realm of possibility for all.
As I create these stories, I take not only my ideas in mind but also think of ways that I can transport the reader to new places.
Writing Finding Juliana in Italy – my first novel
When I finally decided on this idea, I just started writing the story on my tablet and could not stop. I wrote six pages with the overall story summary and shared it with my daughter and husband. Their support was just amazing and gave me all the confidence and perseverance to see this through. Then creating the outline and key points and events of each chapter was so much fun. Some ideas fell through as uneventful and others blossomed. I would step back for a while to see if new ideas developed and how to best present the story to my lovely readers.
I cannot thank my daughter and husband enough for all their support and patience. This is a dream come true and I hope the reader enjoys this story as much as I enjoyed telling it in the pages of this book!
I am also excited about the next adventure; I have decided to tell Andres’ story. I am so looking forward to sharing his story with you as well in the future!
With so much love,
