Judi is a retired Certified Licensed Occupational Therapist. She enjoys running, hiking, biking and traveling. Judi is married with two grown children who were the inspiration for this book. She often makes up stories and songs for them when they were younger; once she retired she had the time to write them down and pursue a publisher. She hopes that the life lesson at the end of "Agatha Livermore and the Magic Cookie Spoon" resonates with children and adults alike.
