Julia Dielmann
Julia is a German-born, but English-at-heart poet and author of books for teenagers and adults. In any medium, her writing is as queer as she is. Julia has a BSc in Creative Writing and Psychology and an MA in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University. When not writing, she guards bookish treasures in a library and volunteers as a counsellor for LGBTQ+ teens. For fun, she reads everything she can get her hands on, learns musicals by heart and searches for random historical facts to annoy her friends with. She lives in a ramshackle, book-filled house in Bath but would always rather be in Paris.
Love and Liberty
YA Queer historical
Paris, 1832. 17-year-old Adrienne de Clairmont has always chafed against the constraints of their aristocratic life, but it takes the threat of an arranged marriage for them to finally break free. Reinventing themself as male and adopting the name Adrien, they dive into the Paris of the poor and downtrodden. Along the way, they find friendship, romance and a cause worth fighting for. But as the city turns into a powder-keg of rebellion, they are forced to decide just how far they are willing to go for justice. Is tomorrow worth fighting for, even when you might not get to see it?
