Brooke Julian has been writing stories since she was a little girl and her Dad wouldn't let her watch television. She won the John McDougal Award for her short story "The Slide," and is the author of the Helen Wheels: Paranormal PI mystery series. She spends most of her time playing make-believe, and spends the rest of her time writing about it. Plus, she loves rock n' roll. The good stuff, like they made in the 80s.
