About the Author

Julie Blair has always believed that fiction is one of life's great pleasures. From the time she was old enough to hold a book, escaping into worlds where anything is possible and endings are usually happy has been a favorite pastime. Growing up a tomboy before it was fashionable, Julie attached herself to sports, especially softball, which culminated in her pitching in the Women's College World Series. Finally forced to grow up and get a real job, she landed in restaurant management for a decade before entering the rigors of chiropractic school. She has been a chiropractor for over two decades.

Julie's hard at work trying to give voices to other characters with stories to tell--their struggles, their triumphs, their love affairs--mostly in self defense, hoping they'll stop waking her up in the middle of the night with snippets of dialogue or ideas for scenes and settings.
