Birth year:

Julie Houston is a true Yorkshire native, hailing from the beautiful region. She currently resides in the picturesque town of Huddersfield, which serves as the backdrop for her captivating novels. Interestingly enough, Julie can boast of a few brushes with fame - she once taught at the same school attended by the renowned 'Bridget Jones' author, Helen Fielding. Additionally, her next-door neighbor happens to be none other than the talented 'Chocolat' author, Joanne Harris. And if that wasn't impressive enough, her close friend is on the brink of tying the knot with none other than Tracy Emin's cousin!

However, perhaps the most remarkable of Julie's encounters occurred many years ago when she found herself in a precarious situation while working as a waitress at the esteemed Kensington Hilton in London. It was then that she was rescued by the one and only Frank Bough, adding yet another interesting chapter to her eclectic life story.

Praise for Julie Houston

Fiona Gibson

Warm and poignant, brimming with heart and humour and filled with characters I was rooting for. Loved this class act!

Freya Kennedy

This is a gorgeous, warm-hearted read with a cast of characters that you can't help but root for. It's a beautiful depiction of the special bond between sisters - warts and all and I can't wait to see where we go next with the Allen family.
