Judith E. French is the author of twenty-one full-length historical romances. Her adventure-laden novels, known for strong heroines and authentic research, are translated into numerous foreign languages and sold around the world. Judith has been a three time Romance Writers of America Rita finalist and has won several awards from Romantic Times Magazine and Affaire de Coeur. Not content to merely write Romance novels, Judith is a member of Romance Writers of America and belongs to the Delaware, Virginia, and Georgia Chapters. Judith, a farmer's daughter, is descended from colonial British settlers and Native Americans in the Chesapeake Bay region. No doubt reflected in her novels, she inherited a strong family tradition of story telling. The mother of four adult children, including best-selling historical novelist Colleen Faulkner, Judith lives with her husband, a Norwegian Elkhound, and several Siamese cats. The brood makes their home in a restored 18th century farmhouse near Maryland's Eastern Shore. The house has been in her family since 1734. Readers can find Judith's upcoming release, the novella The Bride of the Red Wolf, in the August release by Kensington, Castle Magic. This piece was written as a collaboration between Judith, her daughter Colleen, and their friend Hannah Howell. Before writing the novella, she was lucky enough to travel extensively in the Scottish Highlands. She enjoyed the country so much that she will be returning again in the summer of 1999 in order to do more research on this romantic area.
