ⓘ About Judy Penz Sheluk

Her gift for crafting strong characters is also something to be admired, as she creates fully formed three-dimensional personalities that stand out from the page. Sometimes she’ll feature a character in an ongoing narrative or arc, while other times she’ll simply tell a good solid mystery story. An outspoken member of the mystery fiction community, she really knows how to make herself and her stories heard. Elevating the genre as a whole, she’ll carry on writing for quite some time to come, as her writing career continues onwards and upwards. Back in March of 2000 at twenty years old, Brandon Colbeck would disappear on a ‘fool’s journey’ as he would proclaim it himself, and nobody has heard anything from him since.
