<p>Many of the stories Julie writes about are extensions of her families’ wild and made-up stories, travels and misadventures. Julie admits she has always enjoyed reading, anything from classics to comic books. Her favorites were mysteries and romances.   </p><p>Known for her wit and storytelling, Julie wrote as a hobby and presented many stories to friends and families as reading gifts. Her background is different from most writers in that she devised, revised and taught obstetrical, gynecology and neonatal classes for registered nurses, deployed and served as a nurse during mass casualty operations. She has worked as a health care administrator for a regional hospital and operated several services as an advance nurse practitioner in midwivery. She has additional years of experience as a Chief Nurse Officer for inpatient hospitals and outlying clinics. She has written several educational and training programs, in-services, grants, pamphlets and has been a co-editor and reviewer on several research proposals and papers. Since her retirement from the Army Nurse Corps, Julie decided to refocus her energies on the stories she has written and share them.  </p>
