The Beast Keepers is my first novel and I am delighted to announce that it was a finalist in the The Wishing Shelf Book Awards in the UK, as well as being a finalist in the 2023 SPR Book Awards. It was also nominated for an Eric Hoffer Award, an Ohioana Award, an IPPY award, and Rubery Book Award. It also recently won "Best Cover" from the Wishing Shelf awards.
A lifelong dog lover, Julie began training dogs professionally in 2003 and after moving to Ohio in 2006, she started A Positive Connection Dog Training. She retired in 2022, but still has a podcast, Your Family Dog, that centers on helping families love living with dogs and a line of cards and other items based on her drawings from a pet’s point of view and her perspective that the world should be a little more animal-centric. Now that she's retired, she spends her time writing, traveling, reading, hiking, and playing with her nine grandkids.
