Jude Johnson

Biography

Jude Johnson is “Native by Proxy” to Arizona; her mother’s family has lived in Southern Arizona for generations, and Jude herself has lived in Tucson for more than twenty-five years. A member of the Society of Southwestern Authors and The Historical Novel Society, she loves reading and writing historical fiction that involves a combination of adventure, history and a darn good love story. Mixing historical facts, events, and figures with fictional characters, Jude weaves stories she hopes entertain her readers while offering something new to learn along the way—including Welsh and Spanish phrases.

Jude has been featured on BBC Radio Wales’ Roy Noble program, and a copy of her first novel, Dragon & Hawk-—about Welsh miners in the Arizona Territory searching for new lives and love—-now resides in The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.
