JUDY ASTLEY’s first novel, Just For The Summer was published in 1990, before which she worked as a dressmaker, illustrator, painter and parent. Her eighteen novels are all published by Transworld and the most recent is In The Summertime, a twenty-years-on follow-up to that first book.
Judy’s specialist areas are family disharmony and family chaos with a mix of love-and-passion and plenty of humour thrown in, ranging across all generations –love isn’t only for the young!
She’s been a regular columnist on magazines and enjoys writing journalism pieces on more or less any subject, usually from a fun viewpoint. She lives in London and Cornwall, loves plants, books, hot sun and rock music, preferably all at once. She would claim that being excessively curious about other people’s lives and listening into the conversations of strangers is essential in her line of work.
