About Julie Bozza
Ordinary people are extraordinary. We can all aspire to decency, generosity, respect, honesty – and the power of love (all kinds of love!) can help us grow into our best selves.
I write stories about ‘ordinary’ people finding their answers in themselves and each other. I write about friends and lovers, and the families we create for ourselves. I explore the depth and the meaning, the fun and the possibilities, in ‘everyday’ experiences and relationships. I believe that embodying these things is how we can live our lives more fully.
Creative works help us each find our own clarity and our own joy. Readers bring their hearts and souls to reading, just as authors bring their hearts and souls to writing – and together we make a whole.
And that’s me! Julie Bozza. Quirky. Queer. Sincere.

Blog postThere is a case to be made for the notion that the whole Writ in Blood project – 110,000 word novel and all – was launched for the sake of me having Johnny Ringo on a coffee mug. And at last my ambitions have been fulfilled! mwahahaha
The art created by Mags Kulbicka was too gorgeous to be confined within my novel, so you can now find it adorning a variety of quality merchandise on RedBubble, some with branding and some without. Our “Writ in Blood” shop is here: redbubble.com/people/W3 months ago Read more -
Blog postI’m delighted by Paula Martinac’s review of my novel Writ in Blood for the Historical Novel Society. She says:
The Wild West gets a queer retelling in this inventive historical with a hint of fantasy. Three point-of-view characters based on real white men of the 1880s—Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Johnny Ringo—cross paths again and again on their way to the vivid setting of Tombstone, Arizona.

Blog postI am thrilled to announce the release of a German edition of my perennially popular novel Butterfly Hunter – retitled appropriately as Jäger des verlorenen Schmetterlings (Hunter of the Lost Butterfly) and expertly translated by Anna Maria Nordholz! The delightful cover design is by Beaux Arts.
I have been blessed with many German friends over the years – and family members, too. It was a German friend who made the remark which inspired the story! This is a small, humble offering4 months ago Read more -
Blog postI am delighted to announce that my proposed Queer Weird West Tales anthology is actually becoming a thing! I have signed contracts with 21 awesome authors – some new/emerging and some well-established – plus of course I really must finish my own story for it, too. (When I have my editor’s hat on, I look at myself very sternly indeed.) The collection is shaping up to give readers a terrific range in style and setting. I am already proud of it!

Blog postIt’s been three months to the day since I launched my novel Writ in Blood, and I thought I’d celebrate by having a ponder about maps.
I have to admit that I don’t often refer to maps when reading a novel – or at least, not at first. I tend more towards letting it all sweep through me, and relying on the prose to convey what I need to know. I’m happy to get the general gist… It’s usually only when I’m really invested in re-reading (and re-reading) a novel that I start to pore over the6 months ago Read more -

Blog postMy novel Writ in Blood brings not only supernatural but also queer elements to the Tombstone story. The demon that haunts Johnny Ringo has its origins in a metaphor for the real Ringo’s psychological state. But do I have any basis in reality for portraying any of the characters as queer?
Billy Breakenridge I should declare up front that I don’t have any reason to suppose any of these people were actually queer – with the possible exception of Billy Breakenridge. He was Deputy to Sheri8 months ago Read more -
Blog postFact, Fiction, Myth, Reception I am at the point of thinking that any story about the Earps, Doc Holliday, the Clantons and McLaurys, and Johnny Ringo is almost by definition an alternate history. They are all such complex characters, none of them entirely good nor entirely bad. Likewise, the situation that eventually erupted into a thirty-second gunfight in an empty lot near the O.K. Corral (and then evolved from there) involved a cast of hundreds each with their own agenda.

Blog postMy character Johnny Ringo is visited by a demon. Whether this is due to poor mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder following Ringo’s experiences in Mason County, substance abuse, an overly vivid imagination – or whether it’s a genuine part of the novel’s reality – I leave for the reader to decide.
Instead I want to talk about a play and a song that inspired how I told that part of Ringo’s story.

However! Despite the distractions of performing this chaotic two-plays-within-a-play, Dale is plagued by the niggling doubts prompted by Topher. Dale might be better off paying attention, though – because maybe Francis Beaumont, writing over 400 years ago, already provided the answers to Dale’s dilemma.
