 Who Hi! I’m Judith Sterling, and my love of history and passion for the paranormal infuse everything I write. My two current series are The Novels of Ravenwood (medieval/time travel romance) and Guardians of Erin (young adult paranormal fantasy). My goal is to whisk readers far away from their troubles, particularly to the British Isles. My nonfiction books, written under Judith Marshall, have been translated into many languages. I have an MA in linguistics and a BA in history, with a minor in British Studies. Although born and raised in hotter-than-hot Florida, I got out as soon as I could and lived in England, Scotland, Sweden, Wisconsin, Virginia, and on the island of Nantucket. I now live in Salem, Massachusetts with my husband and our identical twin sons, and I work part-time as a tour guide at The Witch House, the 17th-century home of Jonathan Corwin, one of nine judges during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Interests I love to travel, watch classic movies, and investigate the paranormal. Network My family and friends are my support system, and I’ve met many wonderful authors through my publisher, The Wild Rose Press. As for social media, you can find me here: Desk My desk is in an alcove of our dining room; basically, Grand Central Station. Now that my teenaged boys are home attending school online (thanks to COVID), I need to use super focus to stay on track. Outrageous I can juggle, and I have perfect pitch. I’ve studied Swedish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, and Egyptian hieroglyphs. I love cold weather, and the sun is my nemesis. (See why I had to leave Florida?) I’ve also experienced the paranormal my entire life. And just to make things more outrageous…in my twenties, I was a member of MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) and worked as a volunteer for Professor John E. Mack, a Harvard professor who conducted research on alien abductions. Window Out my window, I can see some of Salem’s historic homes: two from the 18th-century and two from the 19th. Because it’s winter at the moment, I also see the remnants of our last snowfall. Book Blurb Margaret, Lady Ravenwood, is trapped in a loveless marriage and firmly entrenched in the medieval world. Along comes Griffin Nightshade, a historian from the future whose soul resonates with hers. He persuades her to return with him to the 1950s, but heeding her heart means courting danger from a curse that could spell her doom. Haunted by his parents' sudden deaths, Griffin knows all too well the pain born of love lost. He guards his emotions, but Margaret delves deep and goes straight to the soul. She's hard to resist…and harder to set free. The heart's desire and history's demands don't always agree. Yet true love is eternal.

What a fascinating life, Judith. I love that you've studies so many languages--and when i saw hieroglyphics, I did a silent cheer and it brought back smile. In my undergrad days (years ago!!!) our ancient history prof was an Egyptologist and he started an information session on hieroglyphics. I don't recall much of it now, but one day on a field trip to a large museum, our small group was gathered around a sarcophagus and he was reading the inscriptions to us. We became aware that a guard was approaching us very slowly. He was soon joined by another coming from a different direction. They were just curious--but they were looking mighty suspicious, perhaps wondering if the mummy was going to rise. LOL Continued best with this new book and all your others! 3/3/2021 07:35:11 pm
Aww...thanks, Barb. That's so cool that your ancient history prof was an Egyptologist!!! I would've loved to be in his class and in the museum with you all! Comments are closed.
