Julia Kelly grew up in the United States, living in Los Angeles, Iowa, and New York City before settling in London with her husband. She is an Emmy-nominated producer turned novelist whose books have been published by Gallery Books and Simon & Schuster. Her career spans two distinct tracks: contemporary and historical romance novellas written in the mid-2010s, and the longer historical novels and mysteries that made her an international bestseller.
Her breakthrough came with The Light Over London (2019), a dual-timeline novel about a young woman who joins the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service as an antiaircraft gunner during the Blitz and a modern-day woman who discovers her diary decades later. That book and its successors, including The Whispers of War (2020), The Last Garden in England (2021), and The Lost English Girl (2023), established her as a leading voice in WWII historical fiction. More recently, she launched the Evelyne Redfern mystery series with A Traitor in Whitehall (2023), set in the 1950s British civil service.
