Julia Buckley is a Chicago-area writer. She has written three mystery series with Berkley Prime Crime, including the best-selling Writer's Apprentice Series, which Mystery Scene calls "engaging, enjoyable, and surprising," while Kirkus dubs it "pleasantly old-fashioned." The Library Journal called Buckley "a writer to watch."

Buckley is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and the Chicago Writers Association. She blogs about writing and mysteries at Mysterious Musings, where she has interviewed almost 200 other mystery writers about their work.

She teaches high school English and enjoys reading, playing Words With Friends, and spending time with her husband and two sons, along with their menagerie of animals.

Hello, Kim! I'm so sorry to be late with this answer. I am glad you discovered teh Writer's Apprentice series. It is perhaps my favorite.

While Berkley has not renewed the series, I am now able to publish the books myself, and I am putting finishing touches on Book Six, Death Through a Dark Green Glass. Look for it by the end of the year (I hope).

Also, have you discovered the Writer's Apprentice short story called "A Dark and Silent Night?" It's not a full novel, but kind of a fun read for the holidays.

The only bad news is that I don't currently have a way to create an audiobook for Book Six. Do you have the option oof reading either print or online versions?

Thank you again!

I think this is the best so far. THe crimes are pretty grim, but Joe's narration is often humorous and sometimes heartbreaking. I feel that I know him and Ruiz better now, and the suspense was relentless. ...more
