Lence, Julie

Julie was born and raised in upstate New York. She married her high school sweetheart and accompanied him on his twenty-year career with the United States Air Force. Presently, she resides in the Pikes Peak region, where she’s a stay-at-home mom enjoying a career writing western historical romance.

Throughout her school years, Julie enjoyed reading and writing. A friend introduced her to the romance genre in the late 80’s and she was instantly hooked. She credits Judith McNaught’s flawless voice and Johanna Lindsey’s addictive and endearing Malory family as her inspirations to pen her own novels. Combining her fondness for horses, John Wayne’s cowboy persona, and the television series Dallas, she settled into writing western historical romance series early in her career.

Julie self-publishes her work on Amazon and designs her own covers. She is also the owner of the Cowboy Kisses blog. When she’s away from her computer, she enjoys taking care of her family and home, exploring the Rocky Mountains, and meeting fans of the romance genre.
