About the author:
Judy Burr is originally from Colorado, where she raised a family and started an accounting business. She now resides in Las Vegas, NV and continues her career in the field of finance. She is the owner/operator of Account On Me Inc, but her love of "numbers" has been replaced by a love for writing.
After Judy's arrest on Pearl Harbor Day, she agreed to become a witness for the prosecution, but surrendering to those circumstances was far easier than submitting to the man determined to save her soul. In order to cope, she began journaling and those words ultimately spawned a steamy romance trilogy.
In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting quarantine became a catalyst to complete. With the gift of time, she dusted off her word processor and brought her debut novel back to life. LION SONG is the first installation of a planned trilogy. The second book, FIVE GOLDEN RINGS, is in the editing stages, and the conclusion is waiting in the wings.
What inspired you to write your book?
I fell in love with a man who suffered a mental illness. Learning to cope with his multiple personalities was something I wanted to share.
He was a frightened young boy, and I knew the alter ego. That splintered part of his personality could be unpredictably dangerous, and right at that moment he was viewing me as the enemy. I might as well have been sitting there with a bat across my lap, because that’s what my book looked like to him. I was the wicked stepfather threatening to beat him if he blinked, but unfortunately, Rod was no longer a helpless twelve-year-old-boy. He was, in fact, a dangerously grown man, and I did not pretend otherwise.
Here is a short sample from the book:
I’ll promise to remain by your side. I won’t run away or try to escape, and I’ll submit to your wishes until you feel safe. When you think you’re strong enough to stand on your own, I need you to tell me, and then you must let me go. Promise me, Rod, when you are capable, you will release me. I need to be free, honey. I have a dream of my own.
