Julia Madeleine is a Canadian thriller writer, artist, and entrepreneur from the Toronto area who co-owns a tattoo studio. She is the mother of one awesome twenty-year-old daughter, also a tattoo artist. The majority of Julia's story ideas come from dreams and the occasional nightmare; character's conjured from her dark imagination that wake her from sleep and force her to write about them in the night. Julia enjoys writing short stories of mayhem and suspense which can be found published around the net, one of which was nominated for a Derringer Award in 2011.
