Judy Snyder
Even as a wee child, Judy Snyder entertained family and friends by telling stories. Influenced by Rod Serling, Alfred Hitchcock, Ray Bradbury, and all those wonderful B monster movies growing up it was natural for her tales to take on that flavor.
As she spun her tales in written and spoken word she'd hear over and over again, "You ought to write a book!" And so she has.

Submitted for your approval…Judy Snyder's collection of short stories, Twisted Tales unlocks the key to imagination and transports readers into the rich tradition of storytellers like Rod Serling and Alfred Hitchcock.
​
In the world of Twisted Tales, a child’s toy becomes an instrument of death, a strict code of honor demands a hard justice, and a simple marble angel works a heavenly solution. These are the signposts along way to a place where “What If” rules the day.
​
It gets foggy here and there are times when it’s best not to sleep. Things are not always as they seem. Kind rescuers are not friends, thugs are not enemies, and little old ladies are not helpless. You’ve just crossed over into Twisted Tales.
