In 2016, she received the Hugh Holton Award for unpublished crime fiction manuscripts, given annually by the Mystery Writers of America Midwest Chapter. Julie grew up in the sand hills of Southwest Kansas, where she landed her first paying writing gig just out of high school, investigating such hard-hitting stories as “Do blondes really have more fun?” for her hometown newspaper.

She and her husband live in northeast Kansas, where she is at work on her first novel.
