The Making of Judy Corry
Born and raised in Southern Utah, Judy Corry’s love for romance blossomed early, fueled by chick flicks and a lifelong addiction to love stories.

Her high school sweetheart-turned-husband supported her leap into writing, and in 2017, her debut novel launched her career. Winning the Kindle Scout program that same year gave her the confidence to self-publish, setting the stage for her rise in the romance world.
