Julie Kelly is a work-at-home mom and the founder of Screw Perfection, an online business that motivates and inspires others to achieve their goals and heal their way to a healthier and happier version of themselves. Julie was inspired to write this book because of her own recent journey-she lost 175 pounds and won first place in a fitness transformation competition! Her success story was even published in the 2020 winter edition of Oxygen Magazine.

Her daughter inspired her to complete her transformation because she wanted to show her that anything was possible. Julie loves to read, travel, and keep active through fitness. She lives in Calgary, Alberta, with her husband, daughter, and their dog, Prince. The Queen Bakes a Pie is her first children's book.
