Julie, writes under the name of J. Say, and is the author of GLITCHBURN and the ICON Rebellion trilogy  - a high-concept series exploring identity, freedom, and what it means to feel alive in a world built on control.
With a background as a health care team-leader and a former bookkeeper, and salesperson. Julie brings deep emotional insight to every story she writes. She lives in Sussex, England with her husband and son, where she balances storytelling with a love of nature,and family life. As a young adult, Julie was selected to compete for Great Britain's Athletics team in several middle-distance running events — an experience that taught her grit, endurance, and the beauty of chasing a dream. When she’s not crafting cinematic tales of AI revolution, she enjoys writing screenplays as a hobby, often blending nature, humanity, and rebellion into her work. Julie finds inspiration in the quiet moments — reflecting on the world around her, and drawing from a life spent supporting others with compassion and strength. Julie publishes under her independent brand Say-Books, where she merges storytelling with purpose — giving voice to outsiders, rebels, and misfits trying to find their place in a fast-changing world.
