Maidservants, Mystery, and Murder!
Julia Lee has been making up stories for as long as she can
remember. She wrote her first book aged 5, mainly so that she could
do all the illustrations with a brand-new 4-colour pen, and her mum
stitched the pages together on her sewing machine. As a child she
was ill quite a bit, which meant she spent lots of time lying in
bed and reading (bliss!).
Julia grew up in London, but moved to the seaside to study English
at university, and has stayed there ever since. Her career has been
a series of accidents, discovering lots of jobs she didnt want to
do, because secretly she always wanted to be a writer.
Julia is married, has two sons, and lives in Sussex.
