Author Bio

Julia Bennet writes historical romance with passion, intrigue, dark humor, and the occasional animal sidekick. A tea-sodden Englishwoman, she's the only girl in a house of boys and yearns for all things pink and fluffy. If she isn't writing, she's probably reading everything she can get her hands on, spending time with her boys, or procrastinating on the internet.
