Julie Dick grew up in the rural American Midwest as a voracious reader of all genres, but it wasn't until college that she was introduced to the wide world of Doctor Who. A Labor Day weekend marathon of series 5 and the amazing Matt Smith proved to be a 'gateway drug' to the wider world of Classic Who, NuWho, and many varities of EU stories. Since then, she has been exploring the genre deep and wide, enjoying many other speculative fiction classics.
