While in primary school, she discovered numerous hardcover books with beautiful illustrations of girls and their princes. The stories of how an ordinary girl finds her handsome hero after going through testing, heart-wrenching obstacles fascinated her.

That was how it all started. These types of characters have stuck with her all these years, and now she’s writing them in her novels. The settings are different, but the goals, motivations and conflicts of the heroes and heroines are the same.

Julia devours all genres, but prefers contemporary – young adult, literary and romance. At this stage, her focus is writing contemporary romance with a suspense subplot, as this is what she prefers to read.
