Julia French was born and raised in Wisconsin and currently resides there. She loves cheese popcorn, photography, crafting, and nature, and is teaching herself to play the piano, an unfulfilled ambition left over from her childhood. As a young girl she was drawn to horror and the supernatural. She would hide under her grandmother's desk to read Dracula because she knew the adults wouldn't approve. As a horror writer Julia enjoys depicting ordinary people caught up in extraordinary situations. Her personal philosophy of horror is that knowledge is power, and it is better to turn and face what's coming to get you instead of letting it pounce upon your back without warning.
