Julie Kenner
Julie Kenner is an American novelist and lawyer born on January 1, 1965, in Mountain View, California.
She completed her education at the University of Texas at Austin and went on to earn her law degree from Baylor University's Baylor Law School. Those two paths — legal training and a writing career — have run alongside each other throughout her professional life, making her one of the relatively uncommon figures who has worked seriously in both fields. The legal background and the demands of fiction writing call on quite different skill sets, yet Kenner has maintained both as genuine occupations rather than treating one as a side pursuit to the other.
Her fiction falls within the romance genre, which has remained a consistent thread across her work as a novelist and writer. Romance as a category covers a wide range of tones and settings, and Kenner has worked within that space as a practicing author based in the United States. Because the facts available center on her dual career and her educational history, what stands out most clearly is the combination of a rigorous academic path through two well-regarded Texas institutions and a sustained commitment to writing fiction for a readership drawn to romantic storytelling. That combination of legal training and genre fiction writing gives her biography a shape that's a little different from the typical novelist's, and the romance genre remains the clearest anchor for understanding the body of work she has produced.
Quotes by Julie Kenner

They served “Good Food” but only a G, an O and a D were lit up. Personally, I doubted God dined there. Unless God was keen on samonella poisoning and rat droppings in the hamburgers. But then again, what did I know?
Possess. Have. Hold. Enjoy. Control. Dominate. Pick your verb, Ms. Fairchild. I intend to explore so very many of them.
I know authors shouldn't play favorites with books, but 'Release Me' really is right up there for me. The characters truly came alive on the page and drove the story as much as I did from behind the scenes. It was a pleasure to write, and I'm so thrilled that it's the first of a trilogy because I get to spend more time with the characters.
I try not to think about the trope or whether or not my books are like 'Fifty' or 'Crossfire' or any other series.
I've written about superheroes. I've written about talking ferrets and math geniuses being chased by madmen. I've written about spies and demon-hunting soccer moms. I've created an entire world that centers around a paranormal judicial system.
