Julie Ryan

Julie Ryan was born in a small mining village in South Yorkshire. Not venturing too far from home, she studied French Language and Literature at Hull University, where she also trained as a teacher. Then the wanderlust kicked in and she lived and worked in France, Poland, Thailand and Greece. This broadening of the mind has had an enormous impact on her writing. She now lives in rural Gloucestershire with her husband, son and dippy cat with half a tail. She is a bookaholic with a one-click addiction. Her Greek Island Mystery series includes 'Jenna's Journey', 'Sophia's Secret' and 'Pandora's Prophecy.' 'Callie's Christmas Countdown', a chick-lit humourous romance, is a new departure for her. Her latest book, Finding Rose, is a contemporary romance with a strong historical link to both the Tudor Court and the battlefields of the Somme.
