This time, my author spotlight is highlighting someone whom I got to ‘know’ through her Anything Goes Authors Group on Facebook. Since then, Jude and I have gotten to know one another through a mutual love of books, and my business, ‘The Pedantic Punctuator’ who has edited some of Jude’s work.
Jude is a wonderful human being, kind, caring and compassionate. She has a bit of a ‘thing’ for good looking guys with tattoos, and that ‘thing’ shows up in a number of her books.
