Monk, J. D.: - Best-selling author J. D. Monk is the author of a children's book, SLIMY SLICK, The Nighttime Adventures of a Banana Slug, now available in both paperback and ebook formats. It has achieved best-seller status along with her first book, Tea-Time Victoria, now out of print. Growing up in a home where their six-inch-thick Webster's dictionary was regularly consulted by her father, Judy developed a love of language and a passion for finding the right word. As life progressed, Judy's compassion for the human condition grew, and she was compelled to use her desire to help others through the practice of chiropractic. MAKE A SPECTACULAR SEASHELL LAMP was borne of her creative desires, her love of nature, and her inherent desire to teach and write. The mystery and excitement of writing continues to feed Judy's passion, and the desire to touch others through her work remains a continual draw.
