Judy Duarte

Judy Duarte always knew there was a book inside her, but since English was her least favorite subject in school, she never considered herself a writer. An avid reader who enjoys a happy ending, Judy couldn't shake the dream of creating a book of her own.

That dream became a reality in 2002, when Silhouette released her first Special Edition. Since then, more than thirty of her books have hit the shelves, including three women's fiction novels and two novellas.

Her stories have touched the hearts of readers around the world, landing her a prestigious Reader's Choice Award. In 2009, she won the Maggie and finaled in the Inspirational category of the RitaÂ® with MULBERRY PARK. And in 2010, ENTERTAINING ANGELS finaled in the RitaÂ®, won the Maggie, and placed second in the Inspirational Readers Choice.

When she's not cooped up in her writing cave, Judy spends time with her somewhat enormous, but delightfully close family near the beach in Southern California.
