Biography
Variously described as a crime author, Brit Grit writer -- and even 'the new queen of urban noir' -- Julie's short stories have been printed in respected publications such as Bullet, Out of the Gutter and Blink Ink, and online at such venues as A Twist of Noir, Thrillers Killers & Chillers, Powder Burn Flash, Pulp Metal, At the Bijou and Darkest Before the Dawn.
Julie's first short story collection, Gone Bad, and her first novel, Convictions, were met with acclaim from readers worldwide -- both appeared in the Grift Magazine readers' survey of the best books of 2011, while Convictions was voted as one of the top five books of the year by crime and thriller fans at the Crime Fiction Lover website.
2011 also saw the publication of Julie's latest novel, Heartbreaker (the thrilling story of the excess, betrayal and guilt behind an English rock band), short story collection The Writing on the Wall (a collection of weird and spooky tales guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine) and a new anthology of crime shorts entitled Show No Mercy. Julie's next title will be Darke, a novel about a stage magician who has sealed a satanic pact. The stakes are high, there's everything to play for, and there'll be the Devil to pay if the game is lost.
