With a degree in English and American Literature, Julie Haworth worked as an English teacher for a number of years, specialising in working with learners with literacy difficulties, before embarking on her writing career. Julie writes uplifting stories about friendship and community, bursting with romance and charm (and just a hint of murder!), from her home in the bustling city of Chelmsford, Essex. Julie is still pinching herself that she’s realised her lifelong dream of becoming a published author! When she’s not busy writing, Julie can mainly be found shopping, drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee and hanging out with her two rescue cats. Julie is a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association and the Society of Authors.
