HER LIFE WRITING QUESTIONS FUDGE

Coming . . . her new Fudge book!

 

New Fudge Book (in progress, March 2001) When she wrote her books about Fudge, she wrote them about her son Larry (who is now grown up!) But this is what he looked like when he was a small boy like Fudge. Down below, you can see him as he is now.

Judy says: I never expected to write another Fudge book. So how come that's what I'm doing right now? I have a really good reason - my grandson, Elliot. He's nine years old and guess which character of mine is his favorite?

When Elliot was younger we used to play The Fudge Game, a game he invented, where I had to be Fudge and he got to be Peter. This game drove everyone in the family crazy except Elliot. He's been asking for another book about Fudge for a couple of years now.

I told him, When and if I ever get another idea.... I feel really lucky that just when I least expected it, an idea came to me. I'm writing away but I'm just on the first draft so don't look for it yet. I'll let you know, okay?

Title: I have an idea for the title but I'm not ready to talk about it yet.

Dedication: This book is definitely for Elliot!
