Julia Justiss

    La passione di Julia Justiss per i marinai e la storia è profondamente radicata nella sua infanzia trascorsa vicino alla città coloniale di Annapolis, Maryland. Già a dodici anni, era una giovane guida turistica, immergendo i visitatori in un luogo intriso di fervore rivoluzionario. La sua lunga osservazione dei futuri ufficiali navali presso la United States Naval Academy sembrò presagire il suo eventuale matrimonio con uno di loro. Il suo viaggio letterario, iniziato con ambientazioni preferite dall'antico Egitto all'Inghilterra georgiana, si è evoluto da quaderni di idee per storie a poesia e giornalismo, prima che abbracciasse completamente il romanzo storico. Ora, residente nel Texas orientale, trova ispirazione in paesaggi che evocano racconti classici, dedicandosi all'arte del narrare storie.
