  • A new bio that is not autobiographical.

    The following entry comes to you courtesy of a certain commenter to whom I am related. I take no responsibility for its content, and the opinions contained therein do not reflect those of the management, AKA, mine. I am Matthew’s little sister Amy. His “Short, short bio” is keeping me up at night because it’s…

  • So, it’s been a while since I blogged…

    In the past eight months or so, I’ve finished three books. The Lost Kingdom (which comes out later this year on September 1st), Cave of Wonders, my installment in the Infinity Ring series (which also comes out on September 1st), and the first book in my Quantum League series (which won’t come out till next spring).…

  • Cover reveal! Infinity Ring Book 5: Cave of Wonders

    Hi, everyone! I’m really excited to finally share the cover for Cave of Wonders, book 5 in the amazing Infinity Ring series from Scholastic!   This story was a ton of fun to write, even though I had some rather large shoes to fill (namely those belonging to the giant feet of James Dashner, Carrie Ryan,…

  • Because it’s National Poetry Day, a poem by me.

    This first appeared years ago in the online speculative publication Strange Horizons, and was my very first professional sale. It is particularly appropriate to what I am reading and researching right now for The Quantum League, so it seemed a fitting time to re-post it. In Their Element It’s a Saturday night at the Accelerator…

  • Another book finished!

    This past week, I finished the book I’ve been working on for the last year or so. But in some ways, it’s been even longer than that, because this was the first book I sent to my agent several years ago. He actually passed on it and suggested I put it aside to write something…

  • Judy Lopez, a big move, WIFYR, and deadlines!

    The title of this entry is meant to be a kind of explanation. Sometimes I come to my own blog, look at the last time I posted, and I just stare at the screen in confusion. Has it really been that long? Yes, yes it has. And a lot has happened since then. First, I…

  • NPR interview for KCPW

    This is kind of a last minute announcement, but I wanted to let people know that Jennifer Napier-Pearce will be interviewing me tomorrow morning on KCPW’s CityViews. It’s a live program and invites call-in questions. (I meant to announce this earlier, but I’m in the midst of moving, and things are a bit crazy –…

  • I can see clearly now…

    A few of weeks ago, I went and got LASIK done. I’ve had glasses since I was about thirteen years old, but in the beginning I only wore them to see the board in class or when I went to a movie. I started wearing them all the time when I was about twenty-one and…
