Julie D. Simmons grew up in South Texas where books were her passport to destinations she could only imagine. When she was old enough, she traveled to those same places. Never taking the guided tour, she went to get the smell on her skin and the dirt on her shoes. She now lives in Seguin, Texas with her dogs, her family, and her bees. She enjoys reading, traveling, growing things, theatre, and wine. Her dream is to write good stories that people read and remember.
