Where the stories began

A childhood filled
with make-believe.

Judith’s love of storytelling began with the books she treasured as a child. At an old schoolmaster’s desk in her parents’ home, she filled scrap paper with stories and drawings, dreaming of becoming a children’s author.

Reading aloud to her own children and watching their imaginative play helped bring that early dream to life. The Dragon Trilogy became her first published work.

From classroom to storybook

Encouraging readers.
Inspiring dreamers.

Judith earned A.A. and B.A. degrees from Averett University and a Master of Education from Lynchburg University. Now retired from teaching, she continues sharing her love of reading and imagination through her writing.

Her stories offer young readers a place to wonder, form unexpected friendships, and follow their curiosity beyond the everyday.
