Julie Kay grew up in the beautiful Melbourne bayside suburb of
Chelsea. After completing her schooling she became a dental nurse.
As a young adult Julie travelled the world, living and working in
London, Israel and Greece. At the end of her overseas travels she
went to live in Alice Springs where she got a job working for the
Royal Flying Doctors Service going out to the Aboriginal
communities as a dental nurse.
In her late twenties Julie came home to Melbourne where she worked
as a school dental nurse during the day and studied at night. In
1992 she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English
Literature and Sociology. At this time she married Jon and had two
children. Her next career move was to become an integration aid in
a school. Encouraged by her work colleagues she went back to
university and got her Diploma of Education which enabled her to
become a primary school teacher. Julie loves her vocation as an
educator and manages to work full time, running a busy household
and writing on the weekends.
In 2019 Julie wrote her first novel Not My Father which was loosely
based on the life of her father during the Occupation of Japan. The
Ties That Bind is her second novel with many more to come.
"Stunning and moving as we share such insight into family and the consequences and tribulations of lives entwined... Great read..." Samantha, IndieBook Reviewer (NT)
