J A Mortimore (Judith) was born in London in 1953. She started writing stories at a young age and has never stopped. She wrote fanfiction for many years in a number of fandoms, all pre-internet. She has been active in science fiction and fantasy circles for longer than she cares to think about. She has a doctorate in policing young people. She has a short story in an anthology published in 2022 and has written space operas with romance which she plans to self-publish. Now retired, she lives in Gloucestershire with two friends, a number of cats, and far too many books and half-finished manuscripts.
The Vanished Mage, Judith’s fantasy novel, co-authored with Penelope Hill, was published by Elsewhen Press on 23rd September 2022.
The Harlequin: The Draper’s Reel, a trickster/heist fantasy novel, co-authored with Penelope Hill, was published by Elsewhen Press on 12th July 2024.
