Julie Glover

Julie Glover is a city girl from the Lone Star State. She owns both go-go boots and cowboy boots, has been to Broadway shows and rodeos, enjoys chateaubriand and rattlesnake sausage, and listens to Led Zeppelin and Rascal Flatts.

Raised on Nancy Drew and Laura Ingalls Wilder, she spent much of her childhood making up stories in her head. Inspired by tough-minded women and her own stubborn will, Julie’s imaginary damsels were never in deep distress: They were able to vanquish the dragons themselves and still get the happily-ever-after prince.

After Hurricane Ike sent her family to evacuate in 2008, Julie started putting her story ideas on paper. With a laptop and time on her hands, she began writing the first novel – and eventually finished it (even before the holes in her roof were fixed). In this mystery, Grace & Fire, Annie Lewis flees to a small Texas town to create a new, peaceful life for herself; yet, nightmares of a raging fire still haunt her.  When a handsome police officer moves in next door and her attorney boss starts making his own moves on her, Annie finds herself involved in a romantic tug-of-war, an arson investigation, and the unraveling of her own mysterious past. Julie is currently seeking representation for Grace & Fire.

Julie also writes young adult fiction and has two works in progress – The Year of Firsts and Sharing Hunter.

She loves words, lyrics, accents, sarcasm, idioms, proverbs, and all things language – even punctuation and grammar. Julie blogs twice a week on her website, Threading the Labyrinth. On Amazing Words Wednesday, she posts about word etymology, fun facts, and navigating the English language and on Deep-Fried Friday, she covers various pop culture topics (movies, books, and more). She lives with a supportive husband and two active sons in Friendswood, Texas.
