Everyone starts somewhere. Judi Braddy was born in Missouri, but grew up in Wichita, Kansas. There her first article was published in The 206 Times--her sixth grade newspaper. Fast forward 40+ years. Today she's the author of six non-fiction books, plus numerous articles and essays. Why did it take her budding talent so long to bloom? Could've been that interesting 10-year detour to Alaska. Whatever. Today Judi and husband, Jim, live in Northern California. Both are credentialed ministers who travel and speak extensively. Mostly, though, Judi loves being a wife, mom and (very young) grandma. For more family, travel, writing and speaking info, please visit her witty website, www.judibraddy.com
