Over the years, she's acted in community theater productions, appeared in television commercials, and crashed a previously all-male fraternity to become one of the first female brothers in Loyola University's Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. Julie had dreams of becoming a writer, but family, friends, and frat brothers convinced her otherwise. Having held positions as junior officer at a downtown bank, office manager at an architectural firm, and financial advisor at a prestigious wealth management company, she realizes that the business degree was probably a good choice -- but fiction is truly her passion. Now, with some well-earned life experience behind her, she's delighted to finally be able to make writing a priority in her life.

She is the author of the Manor House Mystery series - the first book, GRACE UNDER PRESSURE, released in 2010, the next book is due out in July 2011. She also authors the White House Chef series, featuring STATE OF THE ONION, HAIL TO THE CHEF, EGGSECUTIVE ORDERS, and her newest release BUFFALO WEST WING.
