novelist & musician

Welcome!

My name is Juliann Rich and I am in love with words that speak or sing truth. I have spent a lifetime, walking around with a notebook tucked into my back pocket because I never know when a character was going to show up with a story to tell. Sometimes they sing it to me.

Interested in my books? Check out my book page where you'll meet Jonathan in the Crossfire Trilogy and Ellie in Gravity. You'll also find book trailers I've created and a cool message from Olympic Ski Jumper, Sarah Hendrickson who beta read Gravity for me.

Love songs with heart, some highlighting my Celtic heritage? Scroll down a bit and you'll find my favorites. There are more on my Song Lyrics page, including a cool music video of a murder mystery that has haunting me since I visited The French Quarter in 2014 for the Saints & Sinners Literary Festival. It lived first as a short story and recently, Detective Miller, showed up in a song.

So wander around. Read a story. Listen to a song I've written. Take your time - there's no hurry.

More about my novels

Current Work-In-Progress

Beneath the emerald green lies a darker shade of magic

After a decade of contemporary YA fiction, I'm stepping away from the familiar and into the mist. My latest work-in-progress combines my love of my Celtic heritage and my love of fairytales and scary tales! My emerging new collection of dark folklore trades contemporary realism for ancient whispers, proving that sometimes old magic isn't kind, and fairytales come with teeth.

Stay tuned for updates on my progress excavating the stories that have haunted me for a lifetime.
