Judith Ivory is the type of writer that other novelists envy. A naturally gifted author, she writes in layers dashing them with steamy hot sex and very funny dialogue. She has written such classics as: Sleeping Beauty, The Indiscretion, The Proposition, Untie My Heart, and Black Silk, just to name a few. Her first book Starlit Surrender, written as Judy Cuevas, has been selling on Amazon for almost 60 dollars. So, with all the critical acclaim from her peers, and the wonderful praise from her readers, how can one of this genre’s best writers have gone missing?

Untie my Heart, her last published book, hit bookstores in November of 2002. It became an instant bestseller and an award winning masterpiece. Shortly thereafter, Judith stated that she was writing another novel, busy working under the wire to get the book out before its deadline. That book was never finished, much less released. Her website is down. I have asked repeatedly on Avon Authors BB and other romance websites for Judith and no one seems to know what happened to her.

It is with regret one can only assume that some tragedy has befallen Ms. Ivory. It has been rumored that she had been ill. We do not know if that is true, we do not wish to spread gossip nor do we want to trample on Ms. Ivory’s privacy. What we would like is to know, at the very least, is that the woman is alive. She has legions of devoted fans that miss her, wish her well and are rooting for her. If anyone has any information about this beloved author, please let us know.
