Julie Leto is a Florida native. That’s very rare, so she's proud of that. She lives in Tampa with her husband, daughter and a very spoiled dachshund. She's been writing for a very long time. She started seriously pursuing writing in 1988, shortly after starting graduate school. Nine years later, she sold her first book. Since then, she's sold over 25 projects and about 20 have been published. The rest are looming over her--big red marks on her calendar...which means she'd better get back to work.
