Judith
reads as much as she writes, devouring at least
two books a week. She loves heated debates over
character motives...she's been kicked out of several
book clubs for just this reason. With her faithful
sidekick at her feet--that'd be, Willow, a yellow
lab--Judith remains unfazed by book club drama and
is furiously writing more paranormal stories. Which
hopefully, you'll read.
Working in a school library,
Judith is surrounded by children's and young adult
literature (there's no escape!). She fosters the
joy of reading in students and staff at her school.
She helps out with the school choir and drama club.
If it has to do with words or music, Judith is around.
A singer/songwriter for more than 10 years, Judith
often writes songs about her characters--since they
are beasties of the night, this makes for interesting
listening.
All her parents
wanted was for Eryn to live a normal life...
Redgrave had its share of monsters before
Eryn moved to town. Mauled pets, missing children.
The Delacroix family is taking the blame, but Eryn
knows the truth. Something stalks the night. Wade,
the police chief's son and Redgrave High's resident
hottie, warns her the Delacroix are dangerous. But
then so is Eryn--in fact, she's lethal.
But she can't help falling for one of the
Delacroix boys, dark, brooding--human Alec. And
then her world falls apart.
A normal life? Now that's the real fairytale.
Praise for Under
My Skin
"Under My Skin
is a roller-coaster romp through a supernatural
world filled with scary beasties, otherworldly magic,
and characters you'll root for. Eryn is a tough
but likable protagonist whose paranormal problems
make a compelling story full of mystery, magic,
action and romance. A fun and engaging read. I'm
looking forward to the sequel."

"...fans of paranormal YA fiction will appreciate a protagonist with attitude and anticipate the next volume in the planned trilogy, Second Skin, to be released in 2011. Recommended."
Monsters. Bloodsuckers. The evil. The damned. Eryn McCain knows they exist—she's been hunting them since she was a child. At sixteen, she's ready to take on all comers. Being a shapeshifter gives her an advantage when it comes to her unusual part-time job. The hours suck and the pay is, well, non-existent, but bonuses like inhuman strength and night vision make tracking scary beasties a dream come true. Especially in a town like Redgrave.
When an ancient demon targets Redgrave High, Eryn and her crew of hunters must face their innermost fears to prevent the Harvest Moon Dance from becoming one serious Monster Mash. Loyalties are tested and temptations abound. With questions ever brewing, can Eryn share a future with the brooding, noble, human Alec—the hunter after her heart? Or will she succumb to her enemy's son, Wade, a seductive predator as bloodthirsty as she is?
What happens when you’re both the beauty and the
beast?
Praise for Second Skin
"Smart, sassy and more than a little scary, Second Skin hits all the right notes. I adored reading about Eryn and her attempts to deal with her life!"
~Amanda Ashby, award-winning author of Zombie Queen of Newbury High and Fairy Bad Day
"If tasked to recruit a monster-hunting army, I'd want Eryn on my side—her tongue is as sharp as the athame she brandishes. In Second Skin, the second book in Judith Graves' thrilling SKINNED series, Eryn goes head-to-head with a chilling new paranorm, has lingering feelings for two of Redgraves' hottest boys, and is surrounded by an endearing cast of family and friends. Prepare to be engrossed—Graves digs in her claws and doesn't let go until the mesmerizing cliffhanger end."
"In Judith Graves' Second Skin, book two of her Skinned series, shapeshifter Eryn McCain is fighting the paranorm baddies again and cracking wise while she's at it. A wild ride of snark, chills and romance, Second Skin poses the creepy question: what if your worse nightmares came to life?"
~Joy Preble, author of Dreaming Anastasia and Haunted
