Judith Geary discovered her love of historical fiction in writing classes with Orson Scott Card, who at the time was known only for his speculative fiction. Tapping history for tips on world building, Geary was hooked by the real thing.

In her other life, Geary teaches at Appalachian State University and is a free-lance fiction editor. She joined Bob and Barbara Ingalls in forming High Country Publishers in 2001, and still edits for Ingalls Publishing Group. Her background is an MA in Education from George Peabody College and continued graduate work in writing, editing, literary criticism as well as continuing involvement in a regional writers' group High Country Writers.
