JF Ridgley is the author of eight novels and short stories set in ancient Rome and three contemporary romance novels. Judy loves researching history and writing fiction based on real stories of real people. She also loves to write contemporary romance because the ancient Roman saying of ‘Live Love Laugh’ is just as true today.
"Times change, people don't," is what Judy's mother used to say. "It’s true. I see it in my stories set in Ancient Rome and in modern-day stories. People still feel. They love. They care. They get mad."
Her favorite books growing up were the Black Stallion series by Walter Farley and Black Beauty by Anna Sewel. "My first book I read in one day was 'A Lantern in Her Hand' by Bess Streeter Aldrich. 'God is an Englishman' by R.F. Delderfield stole my heart with his draft teams. And I still get tears when he describes that team climbing a rainy hill to save those men trapped in a cave on that rainy night." Learn more about JF’s books at www.JFRidgley.com.
