From the age of ten, Julia knew she wanted to be a writer. Her journey to publication took a while, forty-seven years to be precise, but after self-publishing her first four full-length novels, she signed a publishing deal in 2019 to write a series of three police-procedural crime thrillers for award-winning digital publisher, Bookouture. At the last count, her first book for them, Little Girl Missing has been downloaded around the world by a quarter of a million people and has 85% four and five star ratings, way beyond her wildest dreams! My Mother’s Secret is her bestselling audiobook to date and re-signed with Bookouture for two further two books in a similar genre, the most recent of which, My Daughter’s Lies was published in May 2024.
