Once upon a time...
I was commissioned through a publishing company to illustrate a book cover when I was just twelve years old.
I have been jotting down story ideas for the longest time.
Putting it on my bucket list to 'One day' illustrate & get my own books published.
When my son, Kai, came up with the gorgeous 'Ed' concept, it was the perfect motivation to finally get started.
Thank you to my family, friends & Art Zoo students for your endless love & support. I am truly blessed beyond words.

As a teenager, Judy instinctively knew there was more to life than religion prescribed. When her son attempted suicide at 16 and related a very unusual near-death experience, she set out to discover the truth. Her journey has taken a lifetime but her Spiritual guidance and encounters, visits to past lives, and meeting soulmates from other lives will leave you in no doubt that we are made of Spirit and energy - which can never die. |

"Southern Africa has always been my home. Various educational achievements and different occupations have kept me busy, but since childhood writing has been my passion. Many of my stories have been published and distributed in schools in Southern Africa. Now, I've re-written those stories in a different style. It's a style that I hope all children, who can read English, will enjoy." www.smashwords.com |
