WILL WRITE FOR FOOD. Julia London tried that approach when her parents told her to get a job many moons ago, but surprisingly, no one was interested in her total rip-off of Alias Smith and Jones with one minor change--Alias Smith, Jones, and Julia, the-Girl-They-Fought-Over. Unfortunately, Julia had to get a real job, which led her to discover that working for a living really is as awful as it sounds. So she decided to try her hand at writing again, and lo and behold, when she took Julia out of the starring roll, the writing clicked. Her first book was published in 1998. Soon thereafter, she left behind a cush government job where she spent your hard-earned tax dollars and began to write for a living, which truly is the greatest gig on the planet...except for maybe being the next American Idol, which looks pretty cool, too.

Julia is the middle Whine Sister with a raging case of middle-child syndrome. Her attempts to get noticed usually go unnoticed, so she has to keep reminding everyone that she is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of historical and contemporary romance. This usually elicits a big yawn from the Sisters, but Julia doesn't care because she likes saying it. She is fourth generation Texan and lives with her husband and a brand new squeaky clean labrador puppy named Moose in Austin.
