Author Bio

Julie Ma was born and raised in Carmarthen, after her grandfather arrived in Wales from China in the 1920s. Her parents set up a Chinese takeaway in the 1970s and she took over the business with her brother in 2008. As the child of parents who didn't speak English well, her love of reading and writing came from school and a legendary bookshop called Derrick Williams that allowed children to browse for hours.
