Judith Ann Hatch was born in 1946 in Akron, Ohio and raised in a suburb of Cleveland. She is the middle child of five children. Her mother and father were well-educated and insisted that their children pursue careers not only to sustain their future success, but challenge their individual gifts and talents.

Judy chose nursing, ultimately becoming a Registered Nurse. But writing was also a gift and means of expression.  Judy has been writing since childhood, beginning with a daily journal. Her writing was something that her mother strongly encouraged.

“I remember my mother teaching me to type my school reports and to write stories using the family typewriter.” 

However, Judy’s mother taught her more than just how to type. She also taught her life lessons and the importance of daily prayer. “This foundation started me on a journey to seek a closer relationship with God, the source of all expression and communication.”

Judy expounds on what her relationship with God taught her. “I learned that family relationships form an initial link to our Godly relationship and then to those outside the family. The healing process cements the healthy relationships and mends the broken bonds.”

A mother, a nurse and author, Judy resides in South Florida where she continues to serve God and minister.
