Julia Legian (aka Loan Thi Nguyen) was born in 1972, South Vietnam. Or was it 1971? Nobody really knows, so she prefers to err on the young side. In the 80s her parents fled Vietnam as “boat people” and immigrate to Australia. For most of her adult life she works in real estate. She quits her job in 2002 and became a successful property investor. In 2004 she set up her own business as a buyer agent to help others follow her footsteps. She’s now officially retired and concentrate full time on writing. She’s happily married to Simion and has a wonderful, kind and loving son Jeremy.
