Judith Victoria Hensley has been writing since she first saw her name in print in the local newspaper in third grade. Her writing has appeared in educational journals, magazines, and newspapers, as well as collections of short stories, and books. She is a teacher, freelance writer, speaker, and photographer. Hensley says, "Sir Thomas the Eggslayer was my first middle school chapter book, born from my imagination and love of all things medieval, and still one of my favorite stories. The sequel is currently in development."
