Judi has had stories in her head as far back as she can remember. However, being lazy (her friends like to point out that she’s efficient), and being a legal assistant, she knew she could never complete a manuscript if she had to write it on a typewriter. Then, along came word processors, and those magic cut and paste and delete icons. There was no stopping her after that. Within a few weeks of her first job with a computer, she started her first story, a house-beautiful, vogue thing about lawyers. She swore it would never be published — but she honed her description skills on that project, so nothing is ever wasted. But wait! There's more! It was significantly revised and published as part of the Campfire Circle stories.

Some years ago, Judi relocated to New Mexico and is living in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains at the southern end of the Rockies. No more Februarys in Maine for her. She lives a block away from Son #2 and his family. Her Yorkie, Mishka, and a Rat Terrior/Chihuahua/Dachshund rescue, Snuggles, keep her company and pretend they understand every word she says to them. Despite their small size, they rule the house.
