Memory Fades, but Reminserum is Forever

Get your copy of The Vending Portal here

hi and welcome

I’m Judy Liu, a young adult fiction author who loves sci-fi, dystopia, and fantasy. My debut novel, The Vending Portal, is available now. It’s a sci-fi dystopia for middle school through high school students, but young adults would enjoy as well. For me, there’s a bit of nostalgia woven within it.

Feel free to peruse here. You can also connect with me via my not-so-consistent newsletter and through Instagram @judyliu_author.

Available now!
