Judith DeChesere-Boyle was born in Elizabethtown, Kentucky and with the exception of living for three years both in England and Texas, was raised there. She first attended the University of Kentucky, and then moved to California, graduating from College of Marin with an A.A. degree in English with a Creative Writing emphasis and San Francisco State University with a B.A. degree in English. She attended Sonoma State University, earning two teaching credentials and an M.A. in Education with an English Curriculum emphasis. She taught English at the secondary level for many years, retiring early enough to pursue her love of writing more seriously.
