Author Interview: Julie Olivia
Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Julie Olivia, author of The Honeywood Fun Park series, Never Harbor series, and the recently re-released standalone If It Makes You Happy!
Julie Olivia writes cozy love stories filled with humor, spice, and close friend groups that feel like a warm hug. She is a roller coaster fan, avid romance reader, and rainy day enthusiast. Before writing romance novels, Julie moonlighted as an illustrator and worked in Human Resources, in which she still maintains a SHRM-CP certification. However, she decided writing about office romances where they break all the policies was far more enjoyable than enforcing them. Julie lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and their very opinionated pets.
Listen in as we chat more about Julie's books, rainy days, and great banter in romance books! Be sure to follow her @julieoliviaauthor
