Julie Cassidy fell in love with books at the age of five and has been writing her own ever since. After stints as a journalist and a social media manager, she now works in public relations by day and writes funny, sexy contemporary romance novels by night. Her books feature characters chasing after their dreams — and finding happily ever after along the way.

When she’s not writing, she can probably be found doing a crossword puzzle, spending too much time on social media, or indulging in her love of reality TV by watching a Real Housewives franchise or Vanderpump Rules.

Originally from Pittsburgh, she now lives near Chicago. Her debut novel, Just for Show (written under the name Julie Hamilton), was published by Carina Press in January 2022.
