About Julie

Author of Historical Fiction

In 2021 I was excited to publish The Secrets of Bridgewater Bay with Headline Review. It was followed in late 2022 by The Keepsake, a dual-timeline mystery set in the early nineteenth century and the present day. Previously, I have published a variety of children’s books and two adult historical novels writing as Carol Jones.

I was born in Brisbane, Australia, but have lived most of my life in Melbourne. I taught English and Drama in secondary schools before working as an editor of children’s magazines. Like many writers, I have been scribbling stories from an early age and after decades of practice I feel confident to call myself an author.

Married with two twenty-something children, I live in a city apartment overlooking the water in Melbourne but spend as much time as I can travelling throughout Australia and abroad. Or at least I did until recently.

I am represented by the Judith Murdoch Literary Agency in London, UK.
