Judy Keightley

After living and travelling extensively around the world, Judy and her family settled in Canada. Pursuing her lifelong passion for the arts Judy founded the Petrolia Community Theatre, ran various workshops on creativity and writing and has been heavily involved in her local community.

Judy was born in Africa, completed her secondary education in England and gained her Master’s Degree in Education as a mature student in Canada. She has worked as a photographer, caterer, mother and teacher and has now taken on the challenge of establishing a vineyard and winery in Huron County's beautiful west coast.

Over the past thirty years Judy has written twenty novellas, various collections of poetry and a number of plays. Judy wrote her first full length novel in 2013 and developed it into the Rose Blair Murder Mysteries all set in the sleepy village of Bayfield on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada.

Judy and her husband reside in Bayfield with their beloved dog Susie and cat Thomas and enjoy visits from their children and grandchildren.
