Trudy Thompson has been writing for over ten years and her calling has always been for anything out of the ordinary. She loves fantasy, futuristic, and paranormal romance because this genre gives her an opportunity to explore her imagination and create something fresh and different. She is married with two daughters, two grandsons, and four Jack Russell Terriers. She also has inherited a ferret. Trudy lives near Williamsburg, Virginia and is a member of Romance Writers of America, Virginia Romance Writers, and the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal Chapter of RWA. Trudy is previously published with Dorchester but took some time away from writing to explore other avenues. The need to put words to paper brought her back to writing and she now has several other works in progress.
