Julianna May was born into a fundamental Christian household. As a homeschooled pastor’s kid with no friends, there was little else for her to turn to except for books. She began writing from a young age, solidifying her craft through grad school at Wilkes University. She loves to write about religion, deconstructing Christianity, and personal failures/values. She teaches twelfth grade English in Pennsylvania, hoping to encourage the next generation of writers.
