Born in Birmingham, England, Julie Harris now lives in Tring, Hertfordshire.
She was a member of Tring Writers’ Circle for ten years until 2021.
Julie worked for West Midlands Police and Warwickshire Constabulary in the 1970s and 1980s as a civilian. This experience has been invaluable for writing her current crime series starting with Finding Linda (with WPC Janice Morton) which is set in the 1960s and 1970s.
Two other novels in the series are available on Amazon kindle.
Julie lives with her husband, Steve and they enjoy travelling to as many countries as possible.
