Julia O'Reilly loves writing books about life, love, and imperfect people who indulge in the most heartstring-tugging aspects of the human experience. She has always been happiest when writing—whether it be into the late hours of the night with a glass of wine, or on the backs of grocery store receipts when inspiration strikes at inopportune moments.

She loves telling stories set in her favorite place—Lavallette, NJ—a little postage stamp of heaven. Her biggest hope as an author is that people see a piece of themselves in the characters she writes, in a reading experience punctuated by plots that move them and settings that are downright unforgettable.

The Shore Summer Series will be her first published works, coming to you from Olive Press Publishing. The OPP Team has been invaluable in bringing this dream of hers to life, and this incredible world of love, heartbreak, and unforgettable summers to readers everywhere. Summer Rayne is the first book in the series, coming to you in 2027. More information to come…
