Julie is a former TV drama writer who wrote for several TV series, including ITV’s London’s Burning, C5’s Family Affairs and the popular BBC soap, EastEnders, which she wrote for almost 20 years.

In 2010, her memoir More Than Just Coincidence was published by Harper Collins/True. The book entered the Sunday Times Best Selling Non Fiction Top Twenty and went on to become Mumsnet Book of the Year.

In 2015, Julie’s debut crime novel, The Whitstable Pearl Mystery, was published by Little, Brown Book Group. Eight other books have since followed, with more on the way, and in 2021, the books were produced for TV by production company, Buccaneer, as Whitstable Pearl, with a second season following in 2022. Both seasons are now streaming on Acorn TV and the DVD for seasons 1 and 2 are now available.

Whitstable Pearl, starring Kerry Godliman as Pearl, Howard Charles as McGuire and Frances Barber as Dolly, has proved popular across the world and some of Julie’s books in this series have now been published in Germany, Italy and Japan.

Julie moved to Whitstable over twenty years ago where she shares a home with her husband, Kas, and two cats, Lily and Maisie. She also spends a great deal of time campaigning on environmental issues.

Book 10 in the series, Murder at the Allotment is due for publication in May 2024.
