Ophelia Julien writes novels and stories for Young Adults, all of them in the ghost story/supernatural vein. This makes her quite popular around Halloween but she wishes to assure audiences that ghost stories are not seasonal and that they are popular with young readers year-round. She knows: she used to be one of those young readers! Her presentations have ranged from open discussions of ghost stories and how they are structured, through the creation of a story from opening line through publishing, with hands-on writing and sharing included. The subject matter of her visits depends on the age of the audience, size of the group, and preferences of her host. Published books include Saving Jake, a novel of friendship and peril, and the more recent Ghosts of Lake Michigan, a collection of tales from around the great lake itself. Ophelia lives in the western suburbs of Chicago, but is willing to travel
for author visits. More information can be found at her web site. Contact Information: Email: ojulien@sbcglobal.net Website: http://www.opheliajulien.com
