ⓘ About Julia Chapman
Julia Chapman is an author living north of England. It also happens to be a pen name used by the real life human being known as Julia Stagg. Chapman has spent most of her life living abroad in a sort of nomadic existence. She’s naturally inclined to wander, but you can find part of her solidly in one place if you ever pick up one of her books! She resides in the Yorkshire Dales a beautiful place in England that gives her plenty of inspiration for her books in her mystery series– which happen to have stories that take place in exactly the same place! Stagg has also written a few novels that were set in the French Pyrenees but is now writing crime fiction under her other pen name. Julia Chapman is the creator and writer of the Dales Detective Mystery series.
