Julie Mathison (1969 - ) spent her first ten years moving with her bohemian family from state to state -- Indiana, Arizona, Michigan, California and eventually Oregon, where they settled in Eugene. She credits these years with instilling in her a love of imagination and other things that are free. After earning a B.A. in English and law degree she went on to a variety of professions: lawyer, educational consultant, non-profit worker, financial advisor, and, finally, novelist.
Winner of the Eric Hoffer Book Award for Best Middle Reader, First Horizon Award for Debut Books, Best Books Award from American Book Fest for Children's Fiction, Writer's Digest Self-Published E-book for Best YA Novel, and two-time BookLife Prize Semifinalist, she seeks to transport and enrich readers with her books while entertaining them. Her novels, whether coming-of-age, fantasy or mystery, all contain elements of history and emphasize complex themes and a love of language. Her philosophy is "books not boxes," founded on the belief that a good book should transcend genre and category, and should be enjoyable and interesting to readers of all ages, much like the classic works of literature she read and loved as a child.
She also blogs about analog values at http://www.positivelyflummoxed.com, examining the digital age through the lens of 20th century values. Visit her there and join the conversation, or contact her through her author site: http://www.juliemathison.com
