Julie Finn is a self-employed florist who lives and works in Lancashire. She and her husband work together running the business and share the care of their children. Julie gained her national diploma for the society of floristry more years ago than she would care to admit to and spent many years teaching floristry in the North West of England. She has also spent time as an examiner for the society of floristry and as a verifer for the N.V.Q. qualifications. This is Julie's first novel, but plans are already in place for the next.
