Julie James

After graduating from law school, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie James clerked for the United States Court of Appeals in Jacksonville, Florida. She then practiced law with one of the nation’s largest law firms for several years until she began writing screenplays. After Hollywood producers optioned two of her scripts, she decided to leave the practice of law to write full-time.

In 2011, Julie was named “Romance’s New It Girl” by RT Book Reviews magazine and listed on the American Library Association’s Reading List for Top Genre Novels. She is the author of a Booklist Top 10 Romance of the Year and Cosmopolitan magazine’s Red Hot Read for October. Julie’s novels also were chosen as the 2010 and 2011 Best Contemporary Romance in the All About Romance Readers’ Poll. Her books have been translated into thirteen languages and Julie’s most recent novel, ABOUT THAT NIGHT, is now available.

Julie James lives with her husband and two children in Chicago, where she is currently working on her next novel.
