Behind the scenes the uplifting story behind the book
Hello, I’m Julia, author of The Trouble with Elephants and founder of On The Up Consulting.
The first flash of inspiration was when I was 12 years old. I saw the bones of Maharajah the elephant in the Manchester Museum. I was fascinated by the true story of the elephant making an epic 10-day trek from Edinburgh to Manchester.
For years, the manuscript gathered dust in the garage. Yet I had a niggling sense that it was a story that needed to be told.
In 2020, the UK entered lockdown during the COVID pandemic. I was reminded how short life can be. The unfinished manuscript haunted me – it was now or never.
Decades later, I finally fulfilled my dream and published the novel. It just goes to show you should never give up on what matters.
We offer virtual author experiences to i nspire young people to read more and write their own stories.
The Trouble with Elephants is a message of hope for young people about never giving up on what matters to you.
You’ll get:
