A former journalist and translator, Jude Silberfeld-Grimaud is a French-speaker who prefers to write in English, a Taurus with a strong Gemini moon, a lover of cheese and LEGO (not necessarily at the same time), a huge Star Wars fan, the kind that only remembers the most basic quotes but sports a Millenium Falcon tattoo, which might have to do with being on the autistic spectrum and navigating life with dyspraxia. Their happy place is wherever their wife (and sometimes co-author) Marguerite Grimaud is, with a cat purring nearby.

Their debut novel, The Milkyway Hotel, written with Marguerite, is a 2025 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards finalist.
