She is known for writing binge-able and fun romance novels with characters that have made many readers all across the world fall in love with her writing. Dodd was born and brought up in the countryside and since she was a child she loved reading which she used as a form of escape. She loved reading as a hobby as she could act out her fantasies of going on adventures, traveling the world and being a spy without leaving the couch. As a child, she was a huge fan of the “Nancy Drew” novels and also loved spy novels and thrillers by the likes of David Baldacci, Brad Thor and James Rollins. She also loves young adult novels and romance novels and this is what would eventually lead to her career as an author.

Growing up, all Julian Dodd wanted to become when she grew up was a spy. She would usually write cousins to her cousin in code and she would reply in the same mode just in case someone else was listening. She would often act out her stories or daydream about them and still does so when she writes her novels. When Dodd went to college, she majored in Clothing, Textiles and Design as she loved to doodle, draw, paint and anything messy that required some artistic acumen. She had previously worked in retail and was a buyer of anything from pans, pots and clothes. As her husband’s career progressed and he made more money, she was finally able to quit her job and take care of her family. Some of her daydreams would form the foundation for several scenes in “That Boy” her debut novel that she published in 2012. When she is not writing her novels, she can be found watching football if she has the time. Since her son is a semi professional kart racer, she often travels with him to go to go-karting races. When she is at home, she can usually be found working or writing out on the covered porch.
