Naughty Stories for Naughty Girls and Boys

Julie Grayson is a story architect and a word sorceress based in Loveland, Colorado. Once a corporate wordsmith who focused on creating business policies and best practices, she escaped the fluorescent-lit maze of the corporate world in 2011 to return to school and write full time.

With over a decade of storytelling under her belt, she crafts vibrant worlds across genres—from satirical fantasy with laugh-out-loud endings to sci-fi thrillers that quicken your pulse and horror tales that linger long after the last page. These days, she builds narratives for herself and others—for fun, for pay, and for the sheer joy of bending words to her will.

After suffering from a traumatic brain injury in June of 2020 (caused by a massive pulmonary embolism that stopped her heart for forty-three minutes), she still believes anything worth doing is worth doing well. It is this mantra that’s fueled her self-publishing journey of over thirty books. Her work spans fiction and deeply personal nonfiction, including raw explorations of raising Irish twins and navigating the profound grief of child loss.

When not penning her next page-turner, Julie’s cheering louder than the coaches for her beloved Washington Capitals, Texas Rangers, and Green Bay Packers (in that order). She’ll always bet on the underdog, will often dive into genealogy rabbit holes to resurrect forgotten family stories, and casually drop some ASL (sign language) in conversation.

At home, she’s surrounded by her husband, Aaron; and two feline critics, General Binx and Captain Ovechkin, who silently judge her life choices like furry little gargoyles from their fridge-top throne.
