Born and raised in West Virginia, Judy K. Walker tapped into her roots for Dead Hollow, a trilogy of crime thrillers with a dash of paranormal. The series is set in a fictional Appalachian community, and Judy had to reach far back into memory for the experience of distinct, changing seasons. (She currently writes from rainy east Hawaii, where the seasons are defined by what tree is fruiting.)
Judy also writes the ongoing Sydney Brennan Mysteries, featuring a feisty private investigator based in Tallahassee, Florida, another of Judy’s previous homes. A recovering criminal attorney, Judy has enough spare letters after her name (and student loan debt) to suggest that insatiable curiosity is something fictional private investigator Sydney Brennan inherited from her creator. Fortunately, Judy’s curiosity rarely involves murders.
