Judith Graves is an award-winning young adult fiction writer (Exposed and Infiltrate: Retribution Series with Orca Book Publishers), as well as a screenwriter and illustrator. A Tale of Two Kitties, her debut picture book, was published by Acorn Press. A firm believer that fiction can be action-packed, sassy, and yet hit the right emotional notes, Judith writes stories with attitude. As a child, Judith lived in Summerside when her father was in the Forces. It was a sad day when he was posted and the family moved to Alberta. She may have convinced her husband to have an Anne of Green Gables themed wedding. The Island kept calling to Judith, and now, many years later, she's back and thrilled to be living in Summerside with her husband and sassy fur babies.
