Told across parallel lives and glittering skylines, Falcons is a novel of love and loyalty, identity and expectation — and the quiet rebellions that define who we become.
AboutInspired by the dynamic modern-day United Arab Emirates, Falcons is Julia’s debut fiction novel.
The novel explores a nuanced portrait of contemporary life in the UAE through a personal lens, blending political intrigue, emotional interiority, and cultural texture.
Falcons centers on the intersecting lives of multi-cultural characters — Emirati, American, Iranian, Filipino, Indian, Bangladeshi, and Afghan — across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Washington D.C.
While deeply intimate, Falcons also places the UAE in a global context — amidst rapid Gulf modernization and rising tensions between the U.S. and China.
Falcons is a work-in-progress novel scheduled for completion in mid-2026.
Julia is open to working with literary agents and publishers who value place-driven storytelling, immersive world-building, and character-centered narratives rooted in complex political and cultural landscapes.
She also welcomes representation from agents and publishers experienced in international rights and the development of literary fiction for film and television adaptation.
