Julie Cochrane
Julie Cochrane was born in Ohio and grew up in New York and
South Carolina, with a lot of time in Alabama along the way. She
wrote her first stories at five years old, and made her first attempts
at novels in junior high and high school when she had more appetite for
science fiction and fantasy than money for books.
Initially studying Chemistry at Georgia Tech, she got her bachelors in
Psychology and promptly decided that Computer Science really would have
been a better way to earn a living. She spent a number of years
as an Oracle Database Programmer and Usenet Addict. After leaving
the cubicle jungle to homeschool her daughter, she discovered more time
to write fiction and the wonderful world of Baen's Bar. She lives
in the Atlanta Metro area with her husband, their daughter, one very
enthusiastic German Shepherd, and the gerbil custodian of the secrets
of the universe.
Hobbies and interests include pistol marksmanship, reading, history,
criminology, Irish language and folk music.
