Judith McGuinness
Writing Romance for the Real World
Meet the Author


I've been writing for as long as I can remember. My first stories of adventure and fantasy worlds soon gave way to cute little love stories scribbled into marble notebooks that I shared with my friends. Some of those notebooks are still buried in the back of my closet to this day.

The idea of getting any these stories published did not occur to me until years later when, on a whim, I sent the manuscript of a story that was near and dear to my heart to scores of publishers. And viola! here I am, a published author.

Although I am a sucker for a sappy fairytale with a Disney ending, I write my novels with a good dose of real situations between the covers. Writing this way, I feel, allows the reader to believe the story could actually happen to them, and it has earned me a niche in the world of romance novels.

I have been married for several years to my very own romantic hero who provides a great deal of inspiration for my male characters. Though a proud native New Yorker, I now call New Jersey home, and I juggle a full-time career with writing novels to keep my days both interesting and hectic.

I am also a proud member of the Shadow Forest Authors, putting books into the hands of those who would otherwise have limited or no access to literature.
