Born and raised in an isolated village in East Kent in 1966 Julian Sedgwick resolved to become a writer at an early age. He and his brother (writer Marcus Sedgwick) relied on their imaginations, and each other, to entertain themselves - inspired by their fathers love of cinema, theatre and storytelling.

Julian took a long detour whilst working out what and how to write - via a degree and a half at Cambridge University reading Oriental Studies and Philosophy, working as a bookseller, painter, therapist and researcher for film and TV - before moving into screenplay development and writing.

His first book for children Mysterium: The Black Dragon was published in July 2013 and won the Rotherham Childrens Book Award. The second and third instalments of the trilogy The Palace of Memory and The Wheel of Life and Death appeared in 2014. The Mysterium is a mid-grade thriller, for children age 9 and discerning adults.
