JudyDuarte

Judy Duarte always knew there was a book inside her, but since English was her least favorite subject in school, she never considered herself a writer. An avid reader who enjoys a happy ending, Judy couldn't shake the dream of creating a book of her own. That dream became a reality in March of 2002, when Silhouette Special Edition released her first book, COWBOY COURAGE.

In July of 2005, she won the Reader's Choice Award for THE RICH MAN'S SON, and in 2007, CALL ME COWBOY finaled in the same prestigious contest. When she's not cooped up in her Southern California writing cave, Judy spends time with her somewhat enormous, but delightfully close family.
