Julie's first novel, The Tears of Yesteryear, was set against the backdrop of 1900s Pittsburgh, back when steel was king but life was anything but a royal dream for the millions of European immigrants who journeyed to America in search of a better life. 

​

Her latest novel, The Dead Are Resting, once more set in Pittsburgh, is a family tale...of sorts. One in which you think you know everything there is to know about your family until the day comes when you discover that you actually don't. That everything you once believed to be the truth, the crux of one's identity, could all just come crashing down.
