Owl's Big Mistake

Born talking–allegedly–Julia Jarman loved telling stories from an early age. She loved reading them too, and read every kids’ book in the local library. Julia became a teacher of English and Drama, got married, had three kids and started writing for them. She has never stopped, and has books for everyone from tots to teens and in betweens.
