Julie London has read all her life. Growing up in California during the sixties, she learned to read in the magical world of Dr. Seuss. Living in America had a big impact on her and how she lives her life. During lockdown Julie attended an on-line writing course, and her early love of storytelling came back to her. Her entry won the end of course competition. Not confident enough yet to write a full novel, she enjoys entering short story competitions. She hopes one day to add to her employment record, ‘published writer.’
