About the author

Julie Campbell Tatham
aka
Julie Campbell, Julie Tatham and Julie C. Tatham

Julie Tatham, née Campbell, took over the writing of the Cherry Ames series after World War II and repositioned Cherry as the heroine of a peacetime mystery series.

Tatham worked as the assistant society editor of the New York Evening Post before marrying Charles Tatham, though she later returned to the newspaper.

Subsequently, she worked as a secretary, a hotel hostess, and the head of her own literary agency. She wrote both the Trixie Belden and Ginny Gordon series, under the name Julie Campbell, eventually becoming a full-time writer.

Both those series were for younger readers; Trixie was especially successful, and was continued by ghostwriters long after Tatham left the series. Trixie is still popular today; the books are being reissued.

Tatham also wrote for adults, especially on Christian Science.
