Julie Barker uses her west Texas roots to inspire the adventures of the lovable and courageous jackrabbit, Hitchin' Post. Julie was born and raised in west Texas, and now resides in Quanah, Texas, with her husband and three children. Farming and the ranching heritage have always been a part of her life, and she wants that way of life to live on through her children's books. Julie has collaborated with her mother, artist Carolyn Altman, who provided the illustrations and brought Hitchin' Post and the 6Bs' Ranch to life. Julie's debut book, "Hitchin' Post", was the gold medal winner of the 2017 Readers' Favorite Award in the children's-general genre, and has been nominated for a TopShelf Indie Book Award.
