Julie Andree grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where she read books to her pet cow, Daisy, and dreamed of becoming an author. She later built a career in social media marketing in New York City at the dawn of Instagram. Now based outside Denver with her husband, three children, a dog named Bleecker, and a rotating cast of foster puppies, she writes contemporary fiction that explores identity, relationships, and emotional growth. Her essays and work have been published on ScaryMommy.com and featured by Motherly. A recent stay-at-home mom, she’s passionate about showing her kids—and herself—what it means to chase a creative dream with persistence.
