About Judith

Judith McQuoid was born in Ireland but spent a lot of her childhood in Texas and England after her family emigrated during the Troubles. She studied English at Queen’s University in Belfast and worked as a high school teacher for nearly twenty years.

 

She’s been married to Colin for 29 years, and they have two almost-grown-up children. They moved back home to Northern Ireland over ten years ago. Now, she’s often found scribbling at her desk, or strolling hedgerowed lanes with her collie dog, Dexter.
