About the Author:
Hello, and let me introduce myself! My name is Julie Costa Langley, and I live near the redwood trees in the beautiful little town of Scotts Valley, California. I share my home with my husband Rich, our son Nicholas, and Max the pup. I am a native of Santa Cruz County and a proud 1st and 2nd generation Portuguese-American. I am a mother of four children and a grandmother of three! After working for years in the local county government, I have since retired and am happily able to fulfill my dreams in writing.
Nina And I is my first children's book. It is a story about problem-solving, friendships, and recognizing the uniqueness and beauty in the differences we all share.
My second book, The Hat In The Closet; A Halloween Story is a story of imagination and the special bond between a mother and child.
Coming in 2025, I’m proud and excited to announce the release of my third book, What is Saudade? This book is a semi-bilingual chapter book, detailing a child’s journey to her mother’s birthplace where she discovers the rich Portuguese culture and beauty of the Azores! Look for details of this book coming soon!
Thank you for taking the time to read my biography, and I hope my stories bring a smile to your child's face!
