About


My Work

Hi! I'm Jude Stringfellow, a Scottish-American author from the Great State of Oklahoma! I have written several books, including a memoir about my famous dog Faith, a poetry book, blog books, and soon there will be children's books as well. I hold a Ph.D. in Administration of Higher Education and am privileged to have been an English professor, a classroom teacher, and owned my own insurance business for a while. I spend most of my time writing, reading, rescuing animals, and traveling. I have three amazing kids, Reuben, Laura, and Caity. I blog about them all the time. I hope you enjoy what you read and what you find out about me.

FYI

Being a Southern woman, I often rely on my Southern manners and charm, which my writing shows. Don't get me wrong, I'm very stubborn, confident, and always positive; friends say they don't like me much in the morning! I can be found volunteering at the local animal shelters, rescuing horses from slaughterhouses and bad situations, rehabbing and rehoming them with my daughter Laura's help. I have two awesome grandkids, too, and I try to spend as much time as possible with them.

My Journey

Come with me as we explore the world of writing together! My books are created for independent and group reading. You can find my books online and through this website. As a self-publisher of my books, I truly have a vested interest in where they go and who reads them. I want to be both helpful and entertaining. Let's make it a party! Laugh, love, cry, hug, and enjoy every word of every book!
