Julianna Hughes

Juliann was born in the Gulf Coast area of Texas. She joking likes to tell people she is a southern girl born to yankee parents. Her mother was born in Ohio and moved to Texas after the end of World War II.

Creating romantic stories is something she has done since she was a small child. One of her earliest memories is going to see the Walt Disney’s movie, Sleeping Beauty and on the way home crawling into the back of her parent’s station-wagon and creating a story in which she was the heroin and had to save the hero, a pirate captain, trapped in riggings.

For years she would create stories with strong, heroic female characters in her mind. But it wasn’t until after she retired from the Houston Police Department, after more than 31 years as a police officer and then a police sergeant that she would be able to pursue her lifelong dream of having her stories published.

Julianna writes historical romances. Primarily Regency romances but has written a Texas series (not published) and an English-American Revolutionary era series (also not published). For as long as she can remember Julianna has been fascinated with pirate stories and early English and French history. She has now combined her love of history and writing to create stories with strong women and enduring heroes.
