Judy Hudson
Author
Judy Hudson grew up in Boise, Idaho, with four older sisters and a younger brother. For a time, her parents had a ‘commuter marriage’ before there was a term for such an arrangement. Her first career was with the U. S. Forest Service, beginning in the Kootenai National Forest in 1967. After several moves and promotions, she relocated to Juneau, Alaska, where she served in various personnel specialist positions. Judy thrived in the Alaskan environment, maneuvering her boat to find the best fishing hole, hiking the many trails, and traveling as much as possible. She was a single mom in a male-dominated organization, often the first woman to break through the glass ceiling to managerial levels. Her last position was Director of Human Resources for the Southwest Region. One of the best parts of the job was to mentor other women in the workplace.
With an early retirement, she was able to pursue a long-held dream of becoming a counselor. She returned to Idaho, obtained a Masters of Social Work degree at BSU, and opened a practice in Caldwell. Judy considered it a privilege to counsel people from all walks of life as they untangled the truth from lies and distortions.
When it was time to retire the second time, Judy wanted to honor the courage of the many women she had met who were ‘overcomers’ by writing a book of fictional characters and events that would give others hope. That one book became three—the Tethered Series—and she just finished a historical fiction set in the Owyhee Mountains (the working title is Mule Springs Saga).
Judy lives on a small farm in Caldwell, Idaho, where she and her husband treasure the changing seasons and wildlife that thrive in their rural setting. She spends time with her family, gardening, line dancing, and learning more about what a great God we serve.
