Judy Turner was an author who wrote under the pen name Katie Flynn and Judith Saxton.

Her stories were inspired by hearing family recollections of life in Liverpool during the early twentieth century,[citation needed] and according to her publisher, her books sold more than eight million copies.

Flynn was born in Norwich, and lived in Wrexham after her marriage.

She started her career by writing short stories and articles.

She continued to write after being diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis, with her daughter Holly working as her assistant.
