Julie Lew (she/they) loves all things fantasy and horror, the darker and queerer the better. They are the author of adult gothic horror novel, THE WIVES OF HERRICK HALL (May 5), and the YA fantasy mystery, DEATH IN VERSE (coming fall 2026). She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her partner, and when she’s not writing books about the magical and the monstrous, she’s likely playing endless games of fetch with her chihuahua-terrier mix pup, Kody.
A Note on Identity
Julie is a half-Chinese, half-white nonbinary person. As someone who is mixed race, queer, and nonbinary, they’ve never fit neatly into identity labels. Whether she should be included on BIPOC or AAPI lists is up to the individual (though she notes that Death in Verse has AAPI representation, while The Wives of Herrick Hall does not); they identify as both Chinese American and white.
