Julie Achterhoff has lived all over the United States. She is the mother of five children. Julie started writing when she was very young, and kept a few teachers up at night with her stories. A play called "Angel in the House" was her first bigger effort. Then she wrote a novella titled "Native Vengeance," which was published by Demon Mind's website for the 2008 Halloween Edition. Her novel, "Quantum Earth," was published by All Things That Matter Press in 2009, and Deadly Lucidity followed in February 2010. Julie lives in California with her son, Sage.
