About Julie Carroll and SandCastle Creations, LLC

Julie Carroll is a retired attorney turned children’s book author. She lives in sunny southwest Florida with her Seeing Eye dog.

“My favorite pass-times include:

Listening to live music with friends,

Walking to the bay,

Cooking,

Growing things that bloom,

And learning about the fascinating critters that roam this tropical stretch of Florida.”

Places I Have Call Home (in reverse order):

Falls Church, Virginia

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (where my son was born)

Chapel Hill, Greensboro, and Durham, North Carolina.

And, it always feels like going home in Massachusetts, where I have a passel of amazing in-laws and an adult life full of wonderful memories.

“I formed SandCastle Creations, LLC, as a space to share my children’s books, pet projects, and Gulf Coast explorations. Ultimately, my mission is to foster the celebration of the animal and plant life (real and imaginary) that make up our fragile ecosystem.”
