Hi Julie, first of
all, could you tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello Patrick, and sure
thing! I'm an eldest child and walking my younger brother and sister to school
and back, I'd tell them stories – a captive audience! On leaving college, I
worked at the BBC, helping write stories for their "Schools'
Programmes". That was back in the day, before satellite telly made it over
to the UK and 'Auntie Beeb' ruled the air waves! I gave it all up for the good
life, and moved down to Cornwall, one of the most beautiful counties in
England, and often known as 'God's own country.' I think the greatest
compliment I received was 'Julia's more Cornish than the Cornish.' I picked
daffodils in winter and made pasties for the holidaymakers in the summer. But
all good things come to an end: I upped sticks to be closer to my family, and
landed in a little village just outside London, and have been here ever since,
scribbling away at my stories.
