Julia Edwards was born in 1977. She lives in Salisbury, UK, with her husband, three children, nine chickens, and some deer that keep getting into her garden and eating her flowers. Julia is the author of The Scar Gatherer series, a sequence of seven time-travel adventures for 8 to 12 year olds. In the sixth book, "The Shimmer on the Glass", the hero, Joe, is washed up from a ship-wreck on the shores of Victorian Cornwall. The other six books in the series are: "The Leopard in the Golden Cage", set in Roman Britain; "Saving the Unicorn's Horn", set in the Viking Age; "The Falconer's Quarry", set in Tudor England; "The Demon in the Embers", set during the Great Fire of London; "Slaves for the Isabella", set at the height of the Transatlantic Slave Trade; and "The Ring from the Ruins", set in Liverpool during the Blitz.When she's not chasing round after children or chickens, or trying to shoo the deer away, Julia is working on another book for children set in the past. She has also published her first book for adults, "Time was Away", which is available on Amazon, and a collection of comic and nasty short stories for children called, "Unlucky for Some: Tales with a Bite for Vengeful Hearts".
