Julie Bennett Author

Thank you for visiting my author website! I hope you enjoy reading about my author life and my creative works. I have been writing historical fiction for a number of years and now have two novels to my name, The Lost Letters of Rose Carey (2024) and The Understudy (2022) both published by Simon & Schuster Australia.

The Lost Letters of Rose Carey is a beautifully written, expertly entwined story of two women, 100 years apart, who ultimately share a stunning connection. Part mystery, part love story, this dazzling novel completely captivated me, and I absolutely fell in love with both Julie Bennett’s modern day and historical heroines.’ Jillian Cantor, USA Today and International Best Selling Author

Julie Bennett’s The Understudy is the best kind of historical fiction: a powerful love story blended with a mystery that keeps the reader guessing. Bennett relives the opening of the fabled Sydney Opera House in all its glory, while describing the underbelly of opera and the machinations that carry on backstage. A stunning debut that will have book clubs talking! Anita Abriel, internationally bestselling author
