About this author

Julius Thompsons journey to compose a trilogy began in 1995. The fifteen year fictional journey of character Andy Michael Pilgrim from Brooklyn, to Philadelphia and finally Atlanta is now complete. In this pilgrimage, readers experience places that are filled with hopes, dreams, challenges and fears that make us human

The novels that make up the trilogy are A brownstone in Brooklyn which was published in 2001, Philly Style and Philly Profile in 2007 and Ghost of Atlanta in 2011. Julius Thompson received the Georgia Author Of The Year nomination for Philly Style and Philly Profile, from the Georgia Writers Association, in 2007 and for Ghost of Atlanta in 2011. Ghost of Atlanta is also a finalist in a 2011 National Fiction Contest.
