Who Is Julian?

The father to a talented sculptor and the partner to a brilliant woman, Julian was born in England to Nigerian parents. As an expat since birth, his background in photography, sociology and interviewing subjects for print and film led to his first two books, various television appearances, the literary lecture circuit, and multiple photography exhibitions. Shining a spotlight on society's frailties in order to improve upon it drives him, and his latest manuscript, a novel entitled, STINK OF GENIUS, is another step in that direction, as it explores the fading distinctions between "alternative facts" and the truth. In addition to the United Kingdom and the United States, he's lived in Belize, France, and China and has traveled extensively throughout the world.
