Julia Alexandra is the author of the forthcoming Midnight on the Celestial (Wednesday Books, 3 March 2026).
Julia recently graduated with her master's degree in mental health counseling and works by day as a pre-licensed therapist. By night, she dives deep into fantasy worlds that explore the importance of believing in your strengths, your support system, your dreams, and most importantly, in yourself, even when the illusions try to convince you otherwise. Growing up on Florida beaches and watching reality shows like Below Deck inspired her idea of a magically dangerous vacation aboard a fantasy cruise ship with a sinister side. As someone who deals with chronic pain, Julia is also passionate about including and celebrating strong characters who navigate that same pain without being defined by it, while still thriving in a fantasy world. Fun fact: Julia is actually afraid of cruises, so the terror in her manuscript is quality fear. She lives with her twin sister, her most dedicated reader, in Orlando, Florida.
