Biography

Award-winning author of historical, literary, and romance fiction Judith James' books have been translated in nine languages. She is an avid reader and history buff who has traveled, worked and lived in many places, including the Arctic, Ireland, London and France. Variously employed as a trail guide, horse trainer, and for several years as a clinical psychologist before becoming a full time writer, she's had the opportunity to live out many of her dreams. She has found the perfect place to write on the East Coast with a view of the ocean from her window and is currently in service to a cranky elderly cat who thinks she can type and delights in teaching her lessons about backing up files. Judith's writing combines her love of history, romance, and adventure with her keen interest in the complexities of human nature and the heart's capacity to heal.

Writing

Judith James writes character driven stories that are original and unique. They are not traditional romance in the current sense of the word, nor are they traditional historicals. They are a blend of fact and fiction, history and romance, with a dash of adventure, a generous helping of sensuality, a bit of a literary twist, and an angsty love story at their core.
