Julie L. Casey of Union Star, MO, sat down at her computer and her fingers began to fly over the keys as she penned what would very soon become her fourth book, entitled, “How I Became a Teenage Survival- ist”. This book has grabbed the attention of Hollywood, and set events in motion to film a trailer this past weekend.
Julie, the wife of South Holt High School science instructor Jonn Casey, began fulfilling her aspirations to write just a few years ago when she wrote her first book, “Stop Beating a Dead Horse”, a book that addresses the public school system. Her second book, “In Daddy’s Hands”, was based on a humorously true life family experience. Both books were self published within months of each other in early fall, 2010. Since those first works, she has written two more novels, “Holt: Guardians of Hope”, and the latest, “How I Became a Teen- age Survivalist”.
