Author Biography
Julie Frayn pens award-winning novels and short stories that pack a punch. And a few stabs. She has published three novels and one short, short story collection. Julie's first novel, Suicide City, a Love Story, won two gold medals in the 2013 Authorsdb cover contest. Her second, It Isn't Cheating If He's Dead, is the Books and Pals 2014 Readers' Choice winner for women's fiction, and Mazie Baby was named to three Best of 2014 lists, IndieReader, Readfree.ly and Suspense Magazine. A proud Canadian, Julie calls the beautiful province of Alberta home. Though she's grown up on the edge of the Rocky Mountains in a city with the unfortunate nickname Cow Town - she doesn't ski, hates steak, and listens to good old rock and roll. In grade school, Julie was a math whiz, loved to write stories and poems in English class, and had an artistic flair for pencil drawings and pen and ink pointillism. When it came time to choose a career, she was torn between three loves. Her artistic brain ached to create. But her practical side, and the need to eat, won out. She devoted her career to numbers. She counts beans by day, but still revels in the written word. After years of writing on the down low, she finally came out as a full-fledged writer when she published her first novel in 2013. Suicide City, a Love Story began as a short story in 1998. That's a pretty long incubation period! But with the first click of that publish button, she never looked back. She wrote and published two more novels in the next fifteen months, with a fourth well on the way. When she is not working or writing, Julie spends as much time as possible with her two children (grown adults, really), while they still think she's cool.
