Julia Hughes is the London born author of The Celtic Cousins' Adventures: "A Raucous Time", "A Ripple in Time" and "An Explosive Time". Her two Griffin Riders' Chronicles are "The Griffin Cryer" and "The Griffin's Boy". Detective Inspector Crombie who first appeared in the Celtic Cousin's Adventures, now has his own series, titles so far: "Everybody Lies" and "The Ink Man Lies" shortly to be joined by "My Sister Lies". "The Bridle Path" is a stand alone romantic adventure, set in Cornwall. Julia hopes to make enough money as an author to keep her small dog, Tinker, supplied in hazelnuts for evermore. Until then, she'll continue to mine said hazelnuts from chocolate bars, nobly sacrificing her diet for Tinker's benefit.
