Before embarking on the wonderful challenge of writing romance, Julianne MacLean earned two degrees-one in English Literature and the other in Business Administration. She then became a financial statement auditor for the Canadian Federal Government. Julianne now stays at home to write and keep the books for her husband's medical practice, but most importantly to be a devoted wife and mother. She and her husband love to travel, and have lived in New Zealand before settling in Canada with their three-year-old daughter.
