About this author

Stephanie Judice calls lush, moss-laden New Iberia, Louisiana, home where the landscape curls into her imagination creating mystical settings for her stories. She shares her small, southern lifestyle with her husband and four children. As a high school teacher of English and Fine Arts, she is immersed in mythology, legends, and art that serve as constant inspiration for her writings. Some of her favorite things are autumn leaves, southern accents, Gothic architecture, Renaissance festivals, family movie nights, and, of course, William Shakespeare. Writing is her haven for self-expression where imagination rules and dreams do come true.

RISING is her debut novel in the paranormal, teen series SAGA OF THE SETTI.




Why do we read what we read? Serious question for those of us emotionally invested in our fictional escapes. So, what is the true reason? Do we seek an escape that offers hope and inspiration? Do we choose a tome to fulfill unquenched or longed-for desires? Or perhaps, there is a darker motive. Do we yearn for a cathartic purging of our own blacker emotions via fantasy? Do we seek a peek into... Read more of this blog post »

Daughters of Rome (Rome, #2)

read in April, 2012
Quinn is masterful in DAUGHTERS OF ROME. I actually enjoyed the way I felt almost tricked into loving one of the most immoral characters, Lollia, who turns out to be a (mostly) selfless heroine in the end. Just as I felt instantly drawn to Marcella,...more

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Thanks once again,

Mr Tumnus :'(

Cool beans, speak to you then! Don't worry about being late, I'm the latest person ever so I completely understand!
Goodnight/afternoon IB!

Bek-BB-ah


Stephanie Judice Holy cow! Yeah, I'd be at a total loss with Australia. I might as well be talking to someone in Narnia. :D

Okay, so I'll be logging on around 3:30 tomorrow. That's right when I get home with my youngest son, so if I'm not right on time, please forgive me. I'll message you on FB as soon as I get to my computer.

Talk to you tomorrow afternoon, well, night for you. :D

IB, Steph

Haha sorry IB, at my job we have to use twenty-four hour clock so it's hard to turn it off! 9.30/21.30 sounds great to me! Oh man my poor little brain can't handle working out time differences. I have a friend who lives in Australia and it's a nightmare :P


Stephanie Judice Okay. What kind of crazy clock do Brits use? Ha, ha! I'm assuming this is military time, but 40 minutes ago when you sent the email it was actually around 4:42. Soooo, it would've been 16:42 here when it's 22:42 there. Right?! 6 hour difference.

Let's try for around 3:30 my time or 15:30 to you. Which would mean 21:30 your time. Is that right? Geez Louise! I hope my math is right. Ha, ha, ha!

Yeah, I think it would be pretty fun haha! My internet connection is a bit dodgy lately with the wind blowing a hoolie so FaceBook or E-mail would be great! Hmmm....it's like 22:42 over here and according to Google it should be 17:42 with you?

BB - Bekah :)


Stephanie Judice That's right, baby! Ha, ha!

Oooooooo, are we talking a live interview? Scary AND cool! I'm actually home tomorrow night but I have NO idea of the time difference between us. I can't skype right now though bc the wireless isn't working on my laptop and my desktop PC has no camera. I have so much trouble with Skype on that laptop--need a new one! We could chat/do interview via FaceBook through messaging. Is that what you meant by one question at a time?

Just let me know! Btw, Louisiana is the Central time zone. If you can figure out what time that would be for you, awesome! I suck at any kind of math. Ha, ha!

IB,

Steph :D

It sounds like a most prestigious award! Only the best need apply haha :P Btw, I was thinking of doing the interview one question at a time so it flows? Are you free tomorrow?

No, no, YOU'RE the bomb IB!

"Did you ever know that you're my hero?" I don't think I've ever found so much new music so quickly in my life. You can write and you know good music, you should be nominated for the Nobel peace prize. Just saying.


Mariam of the Yemen :D your very welcome.


Stephanie Judice Yayyy! Just what I was hoping for. This is a much better depiction of the mood of the novel. Thank you for your vote of confidence. :)


Mariam of the Yemen Hahaha!! Don't worry, if your cover artist was able to create this amazing cover you have nothing to worry about. I absolutely adore covers like this, and many others do too! :D


Stephanie Judice Absolutely, Mariam! And thanks so much. I'm actually biting my nails because my cover artist is supposed to send me samples for the RESISTANCE cover tonight. I'm obsessively checking my email. Ahhhh! :D


Mariam of the Yemen Thanks for accepting! and I realy do love the new cover for RISING!! <3
