"Julie Hall is a USA Today bestselling YA fantasy author and 1st place winner of the 2012 Women of Faith national writing contest. She was also was awarded ""Best Debut Author"" at the 2017 Ozarks Indie Book Festival. Before writing her first novel Julie worked as a film publicist and rubbed elbows with the rich and famous . . . as in she would gently nudge them to let them know their meal had arrived during press interviews. She now spends most of her ""office hours"" with her two furry writing buddies. Her daughter thinks that mommy's superpower is ""sleeping all day,"" but that's because she's often awake until the wee hours of the morning weaving tales of adventure in worlds of her own creation. When asked in an interview what she wanted to be when she grew up, she's quoted to have answered, ""to never have to grow up."" She currently lives in Portland, Oregon with her four favorite people--her husband, daughter, and two doodles (because dogs are people too). Connect with Julie at http: //www.JulieHallAuthor.com"
