Judie Aitken

A former professional musician and entertainer, a galleried professional artist, and now an award-winning published author, Judie Aitken has spent her entire life in creative pursuit. Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec near the Kahnewake Mohawk Reservation, Judie's books with Native American themes reflect her love for the heritage of her Indian family and friends.

In January 2000 her first book for Berkley Jove, a Time Passages entitled A LOVE BEYOND TIME, was released. Throughout the next year A LOVE BEYOND TIME was nominated for and won numerous awards including the HOLT Medallion for Best Time Travel, a PRISM award and a National Readers' Choice Award. It was also voted Best Paranormal of 2000 by a number of on-line websites including Addicted2RomanceBooks and Heartrate Reviews. A LOVE BEYOND TIME was on the Borders Best Sellers list for six weeks and was also nominated by Romantic Times as a Reviewer's Choice for Best Historical Time Travel.

A PLACE CALLED HOME, her second release for Berkley, is the only contemporary currently published for the Seduction line. Set in Wyoming, A PLACE CALLED HOME pits a handsome cowboy against a lady lawyer from Boston in a struggle for love and legacy.

Judie's third book for Berkley, DISTANT ECHOES, is another time travel and will be released in the September 2003. With the backdrop of an off-reservation Indian school of the late 1800s, DISTANT ECHOES is the story of a Lakota documentary filmmaker who is determined to expose the horrors of the school. It is also the story of the young woman who is the last descendant of the school's founder and just as determined to protect her family's reputation.

Currently living in Indianapolis, Indiana, Judie has been an active member of Romance Writers of America since 1991. She has served on the Board of Directors of her local chapter and is now the president of Indiana Romance Writers. During the day she works as a medical writer for the research department of Indiana's largest hospital, but in the evening she dedicates her time to her passion for writing and her 180-pound Newfoundland, Beau.
