Review of the Badger Riot by Andrew Hunt, The Globe and Mail
           J.A. Ricketts's The Badger Riot is a rare combination for
           a historical novel: It is gripping and accurate. It is historical
           fiction done right.

A Note From Judy

Thanks so much to all of you who helped make my first novel, The Badger Riot, a reality. I was amazed when it was announced, in December 2008 that after 14-weeks, over 10,000 copies had been sold thus earning  Canadian Bestseller status.

Be sure to check out the Media section which includes links to reviews, interviews, signings and readings.
