Judy L. Mohr
A New Zealand writer of dystopian science fiction and techno-thrillers, and one of the 2025 New Voices of Aotearoa.
Judy L. Mohr is a New Zealand writer of dystopian science fiction and techno-thrillers. Her novel Dancing in the Purple Rain explores genetic engineering, implanted memories, surveillance, artificial intelligence, and a poisoned environment. She was named one of the 2025 New Voices of Aotearoa, a program highlighting distinctive emerging New Zealand writers.
Mohr’s recent fiction is connected to Black Wolf Publications and Rhodon Press, a small New Zealand press still building its list. Her catalog remains compact, with Dancing in the Purple Rain, writing-craft nonfiction, short fiction, and forthcoming projects — a strong small-press match for an emerging-author feature.
