Julia Caine is a romance author born on Friday the 13th and raised with an active imagination. From a young age her life has revolved around books between trips to the library with her mom, school reading challenges, and writing her own stories as a preteen.
Julia is a photographer with a special interest in both wildlife and landscape photography who can often be found in a forest taking pictures of fox, deer, and birds. Her hobbies and interests include musical theater, collecting special edition books, playing ukulele, and binging her favorite television shows. She enjoys crafting both paranormal and contemporary love stories. When she isn’t writing, she is likely watching black and white movies, reading into the late hours, trying to learn a new skill,
or doing the Wordle of the day.
Julia lives in British Columbia, Canada, with two cats who lovingly walk across her keyboard during writing sessions in an attempt to gain attention. Her vampire phase began at the age of thirteen and hasn’t ended yet. COFFINS AND COLLECTIBLES is her debut novel.
Pitch
Two feuding antique store owners (who happen to be vampires) attempt to trade in their centuries-old bad blood for a happily ever after when they're forced into a temporary truce to take down an investigative journalist.
Opening Lines
Arson is a crime, even for immortals.
I stare at the new antique shop across the street and contemplate if I’m willing to face the consequences of that particular crime. If the shop belonged to anyone else, I wouldn’t mind the new competition, hell, I’d welcome it, but since it’s his, I can only think about burning the place to the ground.
