Judy Wollin & Eman Alblooshi
Judy Wollin
Judy Wollin lives in Brisbane, Australia and loves to write adventure stories with characters that leap off the page. All her stories could be real-life events but are the product of a vivid imagination.
She was born and raised in Melbourne. She lives in Brisbane with her husband and has adult children and grandchildren. She lived and worked in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, between 2006 and 2010, where she was the inaugural Head of School at the Fatima College of Health Sciences. Judy worked as an academic at QUT and Griffith Universities for over twenty years. She has published non-fiction book chapters and academic papers.
She grew up in Melbourne, where she rode her bike and headed to the bush for camping holidays each Summer with her family. Judy won prizes for essays in Grade 1 and Year 11 and won the diving event at her school swimming carnival when she was in Grade 2.
She loves to travel and recently visited Rwanda and the United Arab Emirates. She loves unusual things and always looks for someone heading on an adventure.
Eman Alblooshi
Eman Alblooshi, a prominent Emirati author, educator, and mother of seven from Abu Dhabi, UAE, has impacted her nation's education landscape. She earned a degree in English literature from UAE University, and in 1982, Eman was one of the first Emiratis employed as an English teacher.
Her passion for education led her to teach English to young learners in state schools. She also excelled as an English teacher in ESL and as the Head of the English Language Training Center at Abu Dhabi Oil Company (ADNOC), emphasising linguistic proficiency and multicultural communication.
Eman was part of the inaugural team that founded Fatima College of Health Sciences, working closely with Professor Judy Wollin. Her dedication to student welfare and success ensured the availability of resources for students to excel in their academic pursuits. Eman's passion is to share knowledge and empower individuals through education.
Writing Together
Eman and Judy's friendship began almost twenty years ago when they worked together. Dr Judy travelled from Australia to the United Arab Emirates to work for Griffith University and the Abu Dhabi government to establish a college offering the Bachelor of Nursing. She was the first Head of School.
Eman, an Emirati woman with years of education experience, was also part of the original College staff. She was the Project Manager.
After working together, Eman and Judy identified the need for books that encouraged reluctant readers to read — especially boys. Eman dreamed of books that included Emirati culture and Judy wanted action-adventure books. All the books include adventures they have experienced together and a pair of very vivid imaginations.
