Flintoff, Juli: - Juli Flintoff is an English artist from West Yorkshire. Initially studying drama, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts from Sunderland University in Fine Art. For several years, Juli was a successful community arts development worker facilitating workshops throughout the Bradford, Calderdale, Leeds, Wakefield and Kirklees areas. After exhibiting five large banners at Bradford's International Youth Event attended by delegates from all over the world, she became involved with projects for young offenders. This led her to train as a prison officer and later a drugs dog handler. In 2010, she began caring for her elderly father and since his passing in 2011, she has dedicated her life to supporting, caring and advocating on behalf of her mother, who lives with dementia. 'Dear Diary' is Juli's fourth publication and is preceded by 'The Daisy Chain', a psychological thriller of murder and intrigue detailing the effects of early childhood trauma; 'Blame, Shame & Guilt' is a heartbreaking tale of child abuse and 'The Secret Back Door' is an inspiring book depicting the struggles of living with dementia.
