Judy says, "I’m a dreamer, and for me, romance is what it's all about. Yes, I sometimes dream of the characters in my head even before I know they’re there, before they end up on paper or my computer screen, and I very frequently dream of them while the writing is in progress. Those are the best dreams because when that happens, I know the characters have taken over and are writing the book for me. It’s like magic, and I love it!

"Over a career spanning several decades, I've had 44 original romance novels published by a variety of houses, most notably, Bantam Books, Harlequin, Kensington, Dorchester, and a couple of publishing houses in the UK. All but the first few are sexy romances, some are futuristic, some have paranormal elements, but all have characters who come to life in my mind, and I hope in yours, too."

Using the experience of a multi-published author and a junior-college-level teacher of creative writing, I often do editing and/or proof-reading for other writers, but only online. I use MS Word in .doc format so I can place comments and suggestions within the body of the ms. My rates are very competitive and can be paid using PayPal. Depending on the work, I charge either a flat or an hourly rate, and provide a complete critique of every manuscript I agree to take on.  ...
