As a child growing up in Dallas, Texas, Judy Christenberry often told herself stories wherein she was the heroine. It was an effective way to while away the time doing chores. She did not start writing until her late thirties, after the unexpected death of her father. This tragedy prompted her to realize her dreams before it was too late. As an avid Harlequin reader, writing romances was a natural decision for her. Her books carry the central themes of family and small town/country life. She believes that family is all about love and support and it comes in all shapes and sizes. Today, she writes full-time, fully embracing her storytelling habits.
