About The Author
Julia Modra
Julie Modra grew up in the New South Wales towns of Taree and the idyllic seaside community of Forster-Tuncurry. Later, she settled in the bayside area of Redland City, Brisbane, with her husband and three daughters, and studied to become a secondary English and history teacher. She also taught as a sessional tertiary lecturer on Western Literary Tradition and Australian Literature, immersing herself in her love of English literature and poetry.
Julie writes middle-grade fiction, as well as adult fiction in the genres of inspirational fiction, literary fiction, historical fiction and romance. She is a graduate of the Australian Writers’ Centre and champions other writers in their creative pursuits whenever possible.
Having experienced her middle daughter’s battle with cancer and her first husband’s passing from cancer, Julie aims to write stories that are full of heart and spread messages of hope. When Julie isn’t writing, she procrastinates by sewing garments to wear, camping off-grid in nature with her wonderful husband, Brian, watching her backyard chickens whilst sipping tea or babysitting her precious grandchildren.
