Judy L Mohr (April 2020)
Kiwi Judy L Mohr writes fiction and non-fiction. Her fictional writing possesses strong thriller roots, filled with adventure, dark monsters, humor, romance, and the occasional science fiction. Meanwhile, her non-fiction is taking on the scientific world. Her book Hidden Traps focuses on how one can protect themselves on the internet, looking at internet security and the loopholes of using different social media sites. Judy is also a contributor to Putting the Science in Fiction, published by Writer's Digest in October 2018.
She's a member of the New Zealand Society of Authors, Sisters in Crime (Guppy Chapter), the Australian Crime Writers Association, the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd), and the Editorial Freelancers Association. In addition to her responsibilities as one of the NaNoWriMo co-Municipal Liaisons for her region, Judy is also an editor with Black Wolf Editorial Services, working on projects from writers around the world.
Judy lives in Christchurch, New Zealand, where the view of the Southern Alps from her driveway and the view of the Port Hills from her kitchen window provides the inspiration for the settings to her stories. The time zone differences provides many talking points with her international friends. To throw a little more crazy into her life, Judy is a mother of two teenagers and a science nerd. When she isn't writing, editing, recording audio, or volunteering in her local community, she can be found in her backyard looking through her telescope or with a camera in her hand enjoying the world around her — no doubt scoping out the next location to hide the bodies.
See her publications page and watch her blog for information about her various projects.
