"The Lord of the Rings" essays   other writing online   "Mozart's Wife"   "Genesee"   "Independent Heart"

By the time Julie was twenty-one, she had lived in twenty-one places, including Cornwall, England and Barbados in the West Indies, where she attended school. Although accepted by English Universities, she returned to the U.S. for college.

A lifelong passion for history led to twelve novels. "Mozart's Wife" was a 2000 Frankfurt nominee. At the 2001 Virginia Festival of the Book, "Mozart's Wife" won the First Independent eBook Award. "Genesee," set during the Revolutionary War in upstate New York, is based upon family history. "Genesee" won the 2003 Epic Award for the best historical novel.

The author married her first boyfriend, and stayed that way. She has two princely sons, three princess granddaughters, and four aging, imperious cats. She loves history, and "myth." She also loves music; from opera to rock.

  

Mozart's Wife is now available for purchase in Amazon's new Kindle format. Kindle is a wireless reading device available exclusively online at Amazon.
