Judi Phillips

Judi has had stories in her head as far back as she can remember. However, being lazy (her friends like to point out that she’s efficient), and being a legal assistant, she knew she could never complete a manuscript if she had to write it on a typewriter. Then, along came word processors, and those magic cut and paste and delete icons. There was no stopping her after that. Within a few weeks of her first job with a computer, she started her first story, a house-beautiful, vogue thing about lawyers. Needless to say, it will never be published — but she honed her description skills on that project, so nothing is ever wasted.

UPDATE: That first story (originally named as A Case for Love) now entitled Opposite Sides, has been significantly rewritten to be a novella in the Campfire Circle stories. Should be available early next year.

Judi has recently relocated to New Mexico and is living in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains at the southern end of the Rockies. No more Februarys in Maine for her. She lives with two dogs, a Yorkie, Mishka, and a MinPin, Gizmo,--who lives up to his name. Both have acclimated easily, although Gizmo does miss eating snow in the winter. Despite their small size, they rule the house.

Judi's book, Ghost of a Chance, won 1st place in the 2010 New England Reader's Choice Bean Pot Award.

Judi's synopsis for her Two Moons Rising manuscript won 1st place in the MERWA Synopsis Contest in the paranormal category, won 3rd place in the FTH Wallflower Contest opening hook category and is a finalist in the Passionate Ink Stroke of Midnight contest in the futuristic and sci fi category.
