It's Happening In Miami

Judy Fisher, former Development Professional in south Florida's Jewish Community recently released her third novel, "Voices from the Ledge." Set in Miami, Judy explores the concept of suicidal ideation (in a fictional circumstance) with a strong positive message. In fact, every book she writes introduces the reader into serious concepts, but in a lighter, fictional way.

Most people think about ending it all at least once in their lives. Judy is glad she didn't. Her writing began as an empty nester blog to fill time that was previously spent tending to her husband and two children. As she wrote and gained followers, she decided to try pure fiction.

She felt that a lot of women, especially of her generation, struggled with many fears, questions and issues growing up in the 1960’s and 1970’s, and many still carry those fears coupled with the shame, embarrassment and skeletons that affect the way they live their lives even today. She was one of them, and her mission is to help one woman, anywoman, anywhere. If that happens, NYT Bestseller list be dxxned!

With two grown children, Judy now resides in Aventura with one four-legged child named Alexander, her husband and her mother. She enjoys reading, writing and live theater.
