Author Biography

Judith Pearson's writing career began in a tree: a wonderful old maple in her parents' backyard, with a perfect branch on which to sit. It was there, as a teenager, that she first wrote her thoughts on current events and life in general. Now hundreds of thousands of words later, this Michigan native is still writing. A graduate of Michigan State University, Pearson has written nearly a hundred newspaper and magazine articles. In addition, she has published two books, both biographies about ordinary people who exhibited extraordinary courage: BELLY OF THE BEAST: A POW's INSPIRING TRUE STORY OF FAITH, COURAGE AND SURVIVAL and WOLVES AT THE DOOR: THE TRUE STORY OF AMERICA'S GREATEST FEMALE SPY. The latter has been optioned for a movie. The founder of Courage Concepts, an organization that fosters courage in women, Pearson provides workshops and keynotes for corporations and organizations. An unexpected life challenge caused her to realize what life is really all about. Several years ago, Judy returned to her idyllic little home town on the shores of Lake Michigan, where she lives with her husband. And she still climbs trees.
