Judy McDonough

Judy is a U. S. Navy veteran and has moved more as a civilian than she ever did as an active duty sailor. A native Arkansan, she's now settled in northern Georgia where she plans to stay put for at least a decade 'cause she's tired of moving. She's lived all over the South (and a brief stint in NE Ohio), but nowhere captured her like New Orleans. Most of her stories are cradled in the Crescent City or deep in the heart of the bayou, though she's branching out to place her stories in other fabulous settings. When she isn't writing, she's probably listening to jazz music, relaxing outside in her hammock, cooking, or sipping a cocktail surrounded by tropical plants on the patio with her husband. Judy has three ridiculously handsome, kind, and witty sons who keep her on her toes, laughing, and coloring her hair to hide the grays. But she wouldn't have it any other way.
