Coco Twain Tells the Truth

Judith Porter lives in Rhode Island with her two cats. She was born in Enid, Oklahoma and grew up in Carter Nine, an oil camp three miles from Shidler, Oklahoma, in Osage County. She attended Shidler Public Schools from first through eleventh grades, but graduated from Edison High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

She received two bachelor degrees from the University of Oklahoma and two masters degrees from the University of Rhode Island.  She worked in Rhode Island public schools for twenty seven years before retiring in 2003. She was a library/media specialist and supervisor of media services. 

Porter currently works part time in an animal shelter as a pet adoption counselor. 

The joys of her life are her three grown children and five grandchildren but she also has time for other activities. She loves sports, both as a spectator and participant.  She travels whenever she can, is an active volunteer in the community. She works out regularly at an athletic club and plays tennis. She can be found in libraries, movie theaters, book stores, restaurants, Chicos, and at many community activities.   

Writing and reading have always been important parts of her life. She is a member of a book club and a writer’s group. She has had a few short stories published as well as professional articles and book reviews. Coco Twain Tells the Truth is her first novel. She is working on a second.
