Author bio

Hello world! I'm Julia, 27 year old author/singer/songwriter/goblin. I have been coming up with stories since as long as I've had the capacity to acknowledge worlds beyond ours. I tend to gravitate towards fantasy and young adult content, although I dabble in a few other genres. Follow me on instagram for updates on my upcoming novel, "A Girl Called Galaxy." @jaja_juliaa
