Judith DuVall (email) was taught to read at age five and shortly thereafter, wrote her first book.  She wrote with crayons on the blank insides of cereal boxes, and her mother tied the whole thing together with string.  She realized that writing books must be important when her mother placed her crayon book on the same shelf with the treasured bedtime storybooks.  She's never lost that sense of awe for the written word.

She has boxes of journals, diaries, and essays recording her travels around the USA and other countries, but seldom reads any of them.  She prefers to get out and about and enjoy a new adventure to record.  

She has degrees in psychology and education from UT Knoxville and a degree in metaphysics from the Arizona campus of the University of Metaphysics.  

Her writings have run the gamut from public school curricula to monthly columns in spiritual periodicals to poetry, songs, and stories about the afterworld. 

She has tried marriage, committed partnerships, parenting, grand-parenting, organic farming, theatrical production, running an art agency, owning a wholesale company, and editing a monthly community newsletter.  She is still enthusiastically involved in parenting and grand-parenting, and appreciates the lessons learned from the rest.

She lives and dreams in the shadow of English Mountain near the shores of Douglas Lake where she pursues gardening, bird watching, walking the woodland paths and lake shoreline, enjoying her pets, and writing at least one page of something every day.
