    Artist description
    Julia was an early pioneer of recorded "filk" (science-fiction folk) music in the early 1980s. From her earliest days, she awed audiences with the richness and clarity of her voice, and the passion and polish of her singing. Julia's many songs range in mood from funny to serious, from contemplative to rousing. Written in a number of musical styles, they are singable and often deeply moving. Her lyrics are simple in language, but rich in imagery. Her songs have moved many to seek out the works that inspired her. These include stories, books, television, movies, comics and life itself. She has an almost uncanny ability to distill the essence of a work into one moment, captured within a song. Julia is now a full-time science-fiction writer, whose works include the New York Times best-selling Star Trek novel "Kobayashi Maru".

    Press Reviews
    "The music still runs through my head at odd moments, and some of it I can sing." - Larry Niven (Author) "How come such a gifted writer also gets to have such a beautiful voice? Wonderful songs and great backup in a brilliantly produced album. Thanks to Julia and her friends, science fiction takes the lead in yet another art form." - David Brin (Author) "...exudes an earnest and unquestionably appealing enthusiasm." - Jeff Berkwitz (SCI FI Magazine)
