Author description

Julia Owen (1960 -) I have always written and as a child sent poems and short stories to the children's pages of papers and magazines. Writing became serious for me when, in 1996, I took a six month course called 'Te tuhi tuhi ma nga tamariki, 'Writing for children in Maori and English' at Rawene Polytech, tutored by Janine McVeagh. Janine was a wonderful teacher and by the end of the course I had completed a children's picture book that was published in both Maori and English, as well as having drafted my novel, Black Gold. Author of Black Gold, Snapped and Beneath the Surf, Straight Walking is another powerful novel from Julia Owen.
