Judy came to take an interest in the process of writing in her late forties, dallying for a brief time in what the Irish writer, Edna O´Brien, called: ¨the little words¨. In the late nineteen eighties Edna, by chance, came to live in an apartment in Judy´s house in Deia Mallorca. They developed a friendship and Judy ended up working for the author as a researcher on a book she wrote while living there, called The High Road.

Judy King grew up in Sydney Australia. After a troubled beginning, she emerged in the nineteen sixties to establish a successful Real Estate and property development business in Paddington. Selling up to travel the world, she settled with her husband for a year in London, where she divided her time between working in an antique shop in King´s Road selling antique scientific instruments and attending an art school in Lambeth. On the strength of her art work in London, she was accepted back in Sydney into a two year ceramics course at the Sydney College of the Arts. More recently she has divided her time between making art and renovating old houses in Mallorca. She currently lives in Soller in an old stone house she renovated with an orchard behind. A walker all her life, her greatest joy is to follow the donkey paths up into the mountains that surround the valley she lives in below.
