I’m Judy Heath, a professional listener and storyteller. As a psychotherapist, I listen to stories; as an author and playwright, I tell them. 

 

My new novel, Moving On Through Mud, is the first book in a trilogy entitled "The Nora Bach Series." 

 

This upmarket women's fiction series is perfect for readers who appreciate a strong, humorous female protagonist and elements of mystery and romance.

 

Two years after the unexpected loss of her husband, former New York City book editor Nora Bach realizes she must find a life of her own. 

 

Emerging from her crumbling Victorian in the picturesque mountain village of Dunsmoor, Nora is confronted with the captivating, if slightly offbeat, village people who are at odds with the part-time residents from the New York theater world. And have I mentioned the mud?

 

Nora balances on a tightrope between meddling in her grown children's lives and minding her own business. Her eccentric sister feels no such compunction about stomping on boundaries as she pushes Nora to date for the first time in thirty years.

 

Nora's refuge? A new job, a possible romance with an intriguing Irish author, and a mysterious stone circle in the woods that holds secrets even Nora can't resist uncovering. 

 

She could never have imagined joining forces with a Broadway Director, a British rock star, and an unexpected sisterhood to battle against a big box store from being built in their historic village.
