Julia Dye tells stories because she loves to entertain and see a certain secret smile from her readers when she strikes a chord. She's spun stories of one kind or another since her childhood in Milwaukee, through college, and into a successful career in show business and publishing. Julia writes about everything that interests her, but she has an affinity for stories with a military flavor. Her Dad was a bomber pilot during World War II, and she married a Marine. She's won a Gold Medal from the Military Writers Society of America. Her tales ring true-which is a very cool thing for any author to claim. She currently lives between Los Angeles, close to the entertainment business, and Lockhart, Texas, close to her heart.
