Julie Caplin

Formerly a PR director, for many years Julie Caplin swanned around Europe taking top food and drink writers on press trips sampling the gastronomic delights of various European cities. It was a tough job but someone had to do it.

These trips have provided the inspiration and settings for the best selling Romantic Escapes Series which began with The Little Café in Copenhagen, which was nominated for a Romantic Novel of the Year award. Since then she has set books in countries including Iceland, Japan and Paris. The series has been published in 24 languages from Brazilian to Swedish and have become bestsellers in the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland, Iceland and Italy.

Her next book, The Hotel by the Sea, set in her beloved Portugal will be published on April 23, 2026.

Julie also writes best selling novels as Jules Wake, which include Covent Garden in the Snow, Notting Hill in the Snow, The Saturday Morning Park Run, From Italy with Love and The Spark.
