This Episode is sponsored by Skunk Brothers Spirits Website: https://skunkbrothersspirits.com/ Discount Code: DWA10 About the Author: Judy Stanigar is a psychotherapist and an emerging author. Her latest novel, Marika's Best Laid Plan, was published by All Things That Matter Press in October 2021. Judy was born and raised in Israel. When she was a teenager, she moved with her family to the U.S. She attended Columbia University Graduate School of Social Work and worked as a psychotherapist for many years before turning her life-long passion and love of books into writing. Her experiences as a therapist in a methadone program became the background for her second novel Marika’s Best Laid Plan. Judy infuses her novels with a therapist’s keen observation of human nature. She loves to write about people’s frailties, which make them lovable and relatable. But she tries to imbue her characters with humor and poignancy in equal measure. Judy has lived and worked across the U.S. and had even done a stint in Jamaica where she taught at the University of the West Indies. She now lives in San Diego with her Jamaican-born husband. She spends her spare time writing, painting, walking the local beaches and trails, and cooking Israeli food with a Jamaican twist. When she’s not working on her next project about her life in Jamaica, she tries very hard to keep the flowers in her garden from dying.
