Julie Anne Peters

Biography

Julie Anne Peters was the critically-acclaimed, award-winning author of more than a dozen books for young adults and children. Her books have been published in numerous countries, including Korea, China, Croatia, Germany, France, Italy, Indonesia, Turkey, and Brazil.

Julie was a member of The Society of Book Writers and Illustrators, the Colorado Authors League, and The Authors Guild.

She loved writing because she got to be her own boss and didn't have to work in an office cubicle. It's hard to think outside the box when you work in a cube.

Julie lived in Lakewood, Colorado, with her partner, Sherri, and far too many cats. The cats are under the impression that they're creative geniuses, since they spent a majority of their day walking back and forth across her computer keyboard. They probably generate more words per day than she did, but who can read cat gibberish?

Julie passed away in March 2023 after a long illness.
