Julianne Douglas: I write historical fiction set in 16th century France. An avid reader who fell in love with all things French as a teen, I went on to earn a BA in French from the University of Notre Dame and a Ph.D in French literature from Princeton. My stories grow from my research and my desire to make Renaissance Europe come alive for today's readers. Explore my blog and immerse yourself in this fascinating era!
