Welcome to my website!
I'm Judith Montgomery, author of Aksandar.

About the Author
Ms. Montgomery has traveled extensively in Afghanistan and over the years has developed a great love and respect for the Afghan people and their struggle to survive as citizens of an independent country. Much of that struggle to maintain their culture has not been recognized, and through Aksandar, she has put forth a meaningful picture of what it means to wait in a land where waiting means death from strangers and outsiders. Her own personal search for truth has become the inspiration for Aksandar.

About my latest book, Aksandar

Aksandar is a quest for truth and justice by Aziz Rashani who understands that tradition in a land of mountains and desert is a matter of surviving when unrealistic odds favor invaders who use the same tactics as Ghenghis Khan. For him, the ideal of an independent Afghanistan is a matter of honor. It is a matter of doing the right thing because that is the right thing to do. Political blackmail and the corruption of ideals force drastic and dangerous change onto the streets and into the villages where the struggle goes on every day. The dangerous plans of the characters, set in vivid detail allow the reader to taste the dust on those deserts. The emotions of all the characters, both raw and subtle, bring to life the Afghan spirit, sense of humor, and part of the history of that tragic land.
