Formerly a researcher in animal communication,
Julie has also written non-fiction, from biology texts to
the use of science fiction to develop literacy. She currently
lives at the edge of a forest with her family, enjoying rocketry
and canoeing whenever there’s time. Julie attributes
her love of writing to the advice of her mother. "When
I didn't like the ending of a book, Mom gave me a typewriter
and suggested I write my own. I never stopped."
