Julie Wray Herman

   

     One day while Julie Wray Herman and two of her neighbors were sprucing up a flower bed, they got to talking about life in general, and people who had upset them in particular. Thanks to a chance comment from her friend, Becky -- the Three Dirty Women Landscaping, Inc mystery series was born. While Julie hasn’t actually buried anyone in her garden, she has always found gardening to be a good way to work off frustration, anxiety, and chocolate chip cookies.
     Julie lives outside Houston, Texas with her husband, two angelic teenagers, and -- at last count -- two dogs, three cats, three horses, and the creature who lurks in the pond. When Julie has time, she plans on taking the “All Strays Apply Here” sign down from her front porch.
A lapsed Texas Master Gardener, Julie is   is an active member of Mystery Writers of America , Sisters in Crime,  and the American Crime Writer's League.
