Julie Bertagna has been dreaming up stories all her life, but she thought an ordinary girl from Scotland could never become an author. After college she was a magazine editor, then a teacher and part-time writer. She finally found out that she was wrong about being ordinary. "Whatever your dream is," she says, "work hard, don't give up, and you can make it come true."
