I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I write mysteries, train border collies. I have a daughter in middle school. I recycle. I exercise every day. I grieve for my country.My latest book "Tree Huggers," a mystery about the clash between developers and militant environmentalists, is available at Amazon and also through my website, www.judy5cents.com. All profits will be donated to two very worthy organizations--The Nature Consevancy and Phoenix Employment Ministries of Wilmington, NC.I report all spam so if you're only here to tell me about how I could meet hot sexy singles tonight (not interested as I'm a lukewarm, not-so-sexy married lady), don't bother.And while I enjoy a good discussion on Christian theology and how it relates to the human condition, please don't send me bulletins on how Jesus died for my sins. I already go to church, so I know that. I do not take kindly to cyber-proselytizing and I will delete anyone who tries from my friends' list.If you truly want to follow the words of Jesus, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, tend to the sick and visit those in prison. (Matthew 25:35)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mystery readers. Mystery writers. Moms. Yellow bellied liberals. People who remember when cutting and pasting involved scissors and glue.

Eight Baby Humans

My Friend Mike

As anyone who knows me is well aware, I'm a Liberal Democrat, and proud of it. I might even refer to myself as a Yellow Dog Democrat, who will vote Democrat even if the party put up a yellow dog as a ...

Brother, Can You Spare A Tie?

For the last two months, I've been on a quest. Not for the holy grail, but for Sarah Palin's $150,000 wardrobe. I don't want it for myself of course, (not my style), it was my intention to auction off...

Give The Gift That Gives Back

Books make great gifts. Autographed books are even better, especially an autographed book by someone really famous. But the absolute best gift would be an autographed book by someone really famou...

Just Hear Those Sleigh Bells Ringing...

And jing-jing-jingling too. I figure it's officially Christmas when I hear the full orchestra version of "Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson. He's also responsible for "The Syncopated Clock,  and "Th...

Together At Last At Twilight Time

I have a 13 year old daughter, and like all 13 year old girls, she's absolutely wild about Stephanie Meyer's series of vampire books, "Twilight." This weekend the keenly anticipated film of said vampi...

But We Knew That Before He Was Elected

Well, it's been two weeks since the election and I'm still amazed about the outcome. Not only have we elected the first African American president, but President-Elect Obama (oooh, I just love saying ...

The Last Gasp

The election is finally coming to a close and not a minute too soon. I am looking forward to the end of Senator Elizabeth Dole's "Godless American" ads, slamming her opponent Kay Hagan for taking mone...

Major Ick Factor

By now we've all heard about Sarah Palin's $150 thousand dollar wardrobe. Apparently, the Republican National Committee treated Sarah Palin and her family to a shopping spree at such high end stores a...
