Julie Wright

Julie Wright has written 28 novels and is a two-time Whitney Award winner, a Teen Readers’ Choice Award Nominee, and a Kansas National Education Association’s Reading Circle Commission Nominee. Her books have received several starred reviews and have been listed in the American Library Association’s top ten romances of the year.


She’s a sucker for almost all things nerdy: Doctor Who, Disneyland, the Marvel Universe, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, fairy tales, and Jane Austen. She believes in second chances, getting up and trying again, and the power of generosity and compassion.


She loves writing, reading, traveling, snorkeling, hiking, playing with her family, and watching her husband make dinner.
