About Judy Smith

At 70 years young, Judy Smith is living proof that it’s never too late to follow your dreams—or forget why you walked into a room. After decades of juggling children, careers, and the general chaos of life (often all at once), she’s finally making space for her first love: writing.

Armed with seven decades of life experience, she brings humor, heart, and a touch of painful honesty to every page. Sure, the words may occasionally hide behind a senior moment, but she’s got stories to tell and wisdom to share.

She doesn’t bake cookies (unless you count pre-cut dough), but she’ll happily film a TikTok with the grandkids, jump on a trampoline, or conduct messy science experiments in the name of fun. Just don’t ask her to stay up past 8 p.m.

These days, her schedule includes long lunches, water aerobics, leisurely walks, and conversations that often end in laughter—or at least with a good story. Life at 70? Fabulous. Writing at 70? Even better.
