Born and bred in the heart of the Midlands, Julie is an up and coming author who's dreams may seem 'pie in the sky' but that doesn't stop her trying to put substance to them. To the astonishment of her offspring, Julie has produced several novels in between living a hectic life - working full-time during the day in a busy accounts office and during the evenings teaching adults the secrets of dressmaking and soft furnishings. It's not surprising that Julie finds it impossible to get a full nights' sleep, she has so many projects whizzing around in her brain that sleep is the last thing she's thinking of when she goes to bed - the ever-present notebook and pen are always close at hand day and night to enable her to capture every morsel of inspiration to utilise in her next mind-blowing venture.
