The series opener has a solid ending, answering many questions and tying up loose threads. I find myself having to disagree with other points of view concerning this book. She has plunged into the contemporary genre too, but her first love will always be historical fiction.
People seem to enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoys writing them, so now, apart from a tiny amount of editing work, she is a full-time writer. She’s now writing the side stories of some of the minor characters, and is researching for her next series, The Road to Rebellion, which will go back to the start of the whole Jacobite movement. Until recently she lived in the beautiful Brecon Beacons in Wales, but in June she moved to Scotland, and now lives in a log cabin in rural Aberdeenshire, so has new countryside to explore!Ī few years ago she decided that rather than just escape into other people’s books, she would quite like to create some of her own and so combined her passion for history and literature to write the Jacobite Chronicles. Life hasn’t always been good, but it has rarely been boring.
In her spare time she is still a voracious reader, and enjoys keeping fit, exploring the beautiful countryside around her home, and travelling the world. She has since had a variety of jobs, including telesales, Post Office clerk, primary school teacher, and painter and gilder. Then she gave up trying to conform, resigned her well-paid but boring job and resolved to spend the rest of her life living as she wanted to, not as others would like her to. After leaving university with a degree in English Language and Literature, she spent her twenties trying to be a sensible and responsible person, even going so far as to work for the Civil Service for six years. Julia has been a voracious reader since childhood, using books to escape the miseries of a turbulent adolescence.
