Judith was born in Orkney, grew up in Lincolnshire and now lives in the far north of Scotland. Her work draws inspiration from folklore, experience and the natural world. The Backwater, Judith’s debut book, was a finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2019. Judith followed this with Dance With Me in 2020 and Honour’s Rest in October 2021.

Judith’s latest book, The Folly at Raighvan Park, is a chilling gothic horror set in Victorian England, in the aftermath of a terrible railway disaster.

When she isn’t writing, Judith is a teacher at a lovely little primary school. She sometimes finds that writing gets usurped by crafting, music, and being a generally doting spaniel owner.

Judith is published by Crowvus, a Caithness based publisher.
