Autorenporträt
Julia was born in Austria of Ukrainian background. She had a post-war education in semi-rural south-east England where she, together with her brother, had a happy childhood. Julia has been a bit of a wanderer travelling to many countries but now lives in Adelaide, South Australia, where she has been settled for over 20 years. At high school, Julia was a chess champion but her best moves may have been in later years when she played competition squash. Julia likes to think she thrives on change. The number of jobs she's had is much like the number of countries she's visited - about 35 in all. These jobs have ranged from teacher's aide, hand pollinating corn in fields, TV ads, working in a funeral parlour, plus an assortment of secretarial and administrative positions. Julia adores her miniature poodle, Pippin. Together they compete in dog sports and she walks him once and sometimes twice a day. She also enjoys gardening, reading and writing children's stories. Julia is happily married with one son, two stepsons, one stepdaughter and four grandchildren. Her goal is to write a series of children's books and, to have an optimistic view on life that "the glass is half full, not half empty".
