Judith L Roth has lived half of her life in a beach town in Southern California and the so-far second-half of her life in northern Indiana. She loves reading, traveling, kayaking, music, nature, and of course, cats. She's been a piano teacher, a youth minister, an editor, and an ASL interpreter—but before any of those occupations, she was a writer, and during those jobs she was a writer, and now she writes almost full-time. She is a mother to two wonderful young men, and a grandmother to two wonderful little girls. She lives on a river bank with her husband and three cats.
