Peg AsensioAward-winning Judi Lifton's first memoir Letters to the Chief: A Minnesota Childhood has won three awards. Two years later, A Glimpse of the Other Americas: A Backpacker's Memoir was published. She has been a successful writer in both scientific and reative arenas. Born a Franklin, Judi has a legacy of three generations of writers with published literary works and memoirs (some in Swedish). In 2024, veering from the family tradition, her first work of fiction, Judi's Tales and Fables, was published. The stories have a taste of the Midwest and yet, some a flavor of her travels. Judi lives in a small house on Lake Erie in a community called North Kingsville On-the-Lake, plays pickle ball, takes her dog, Zinny, for long walks and continues to write and work with students.
