Judi Lauren was born in the Midwest but now resides in an area where the bugs are way too large. She has an unnatural obsession with Chicago, Dean Winchester, and Friends (the TV show.)

Judi loves writing books for kids and teens about family, friendship, and surviving impossible things. Her debut novel, Jordie and Joey Fell From the Sky, was published in 2022 by Jollyfish Press.

In her spare time, she also works as a freelance editor and assistant. You can connect with her on Instagram @judilauren.
