Julie Berman loves having breakfast with friends, snuggling with her kitty cat Miles, binge watching Ted Lasso (again), and savoring anything chocolate. She can often be found in the quiet room of her local library, writing, revising, or getting distracted by the romance novels on her Kindle app. After a thirty-six-year career as a speech-language pathologist, her retirement years have been busy with church activities, service projects through her Kiwanis Club chapter, video chats with kids and grandkids, get-togethers with friends, and frequent walks through the woods.
Julie spends time with her daughter, son-in-law, and three grandsons as often as possible, as well as her son. She lives in the St. Louis area with her sister and their cat.
Julie is working on the next installment of her Willow Groves series, set in a senior living community that may feel familiar to many. These stories show that women can be strong, independent, and resilient, while experiencing romance in the second half of life.
