JULIA JONES is a writer, editor and classic yacht owner, whose father served in the RNVSR. She is Literary Contributor for Yachting Monthly magazine. When she was a small girl, Julia's parents bought Arthur Ransome's yacht Peter Duck. She found that her berth on board was the snuggest place in the world for reading, writing and dreaming too. Years later she discovered her special reading place was where Ransome stored his typewriter. This inspired her 'Strong Winds' series of sailing adventures.
