Juliet Velxley is a rising thriller writer drawn to stories that live at the fault lines of power, pressure, and humanity. Her work explores the systems that shape everyday life—medicine, education, law, politics, and crime—and the ordinary people forced to navigate them under extraordinary circumstances. Blending emotional depth with high-stakes tension, she writes character-driven thrillers that examine not just what happens in a crisis, but who we become because of it.
Critical Condition, her debut novel, launches an ongoing series centered on professionals working inside demanding institutions, beginning with veteran emergency room physician Dr. Althea Brooks. Through these stories, Juliet seeks to spotlight resilience, injustice, and the quiet heroism found in people who show up every day to do difficult, necessary work.
When she isn’t writing, Juliet can usually be found researching far too much about real-world procedures, collecting notebooks full of character ideas, and observing the small human moments that inevitably find their way into her fiction.
She is currently at work on the next novel in the series.
