Korte biografie: Judith Bowen was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and grew up in a logging camp in the Rocky Mountain foothills. She had many friends who lived on farms and ranches, a fact to which she attributes her love of the outdoors and of rural life. She bought her first horse at age 12 with money saved from allowances, gifts, and odd jobs—the horse only cost $60 and was fresh off the range! Luckily he was a sweetie, and she trained him and rode him until she left high school.

Judith holds a bachelor's degree in English Literature from Carleton University, Ottawa, and worked for newspapers and magazines, before writing fiction. She was published since 1990 by Harlequin. Her Men of Glory miniseries, set around small-town Alberta, arose directly from her experience of going to school in a small town and living in small towns all over Canada. She has lived in many of Canada's provinces, from Prince Edward Island to B.C., and writes from the heart, of people who live on the land that she knows best.

Judith currently lives in Ladner, British Columbia, is married, with three children, and spends every day of the working week at her word processor, writing the stories she loves, and is also a member of many writing and arts organizations. Weekends and summers are for family.

His Brother's Bride (Men Of Glory) (Harlequin… door Judith Bowen

I liked this book about a widow who gets pregnant from a lonely one night stand and when she goes to marry the man who knocked her up he runs and she ends up married to his brother. The brother was a fun character for me to read because I like taciturn heroes. The hero, Noah, didn't really want to marry her but stepped up out of a need to do the right thing. She marries him for the same reason she was going to marry his brother, security. They start off with a no sex having marriage of convenience but that eventually changes. The pace was nice and slow and the emotions believable but I do think the heroine should have been able to admit her love for him earlier at least to herself.… (meer)

The Man from Blue River : Home on the Ranch… door Judith Bowen

Pretty good story of a man and a woman who marry to take care of 2 orphan girls. The hero is a man whose first wife died in childbirth. He has some very real emotional crap to get over and it isn't really glossed over, but is played out throughout the book. The heroine was realistically written as a 35 year old woman who wants to get married and have a baby and realizes that it just might not happen. I thought the story was well written and I liked how the hero eventually came to terms with his past. Not everything is explained and I wonder if maybe there are books about his brothers.

The story was well written and flowed well. The characterization was well done. And the hero raised sheep. That was sort of a yippee moment for me since I raise sheep and even better, one of the minor characters was a weaver! Cool beans for little ol' weaver me.

Edited to add

I looked and can't find any books about his brothers unless they were written by other authors as sometimes happens. If anyone knows if there are books somewhere about the missing brothers please let me know.… (meer)

Zoey Phillips: Girlfriends (Harlequin Superromance… door Judith Bowen

Not much interaction with her girlfriends other than a couple letters. Zoey finds by the end that her first love really has not changed much. Ryan turns out to be just the same touchy feely type of guy who does the same to all the other girls only now she can see it. Cute scenes when she buys and wears clothes from the big city. Predictable ending like all romance books.
