I’m Heather…

I write contemporary mysteries/psychological thrillers and Viking historicals. Born and brought up in the West Virginia mountains, I enjoy writing about small towns, family relationships, and women who aren’t afraid to protect those they love.

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, you’ll know I’ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. It’s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulips—my favorite flower—and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so fun—plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if you’re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover🌷 #silversisters #marriedloveofmylife❤️ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
I’m making two separate things that made me happ I’m making two separate things that made me happy posts this week—the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughter—always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if you’re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these are—I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandson’s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
It’s been a long week with continuing sickness ( It’s been a long week with continuing sickness (colds), but I still got to enjoy some delights of the #Appalachianspring that is trying to make its way across these mountains. Things that have made me happy this week were an amazing sunset, my #tulips I had to bring in before a frost, coffee ☕️, my Mary Higgins Clark book from the library, and my favorite mountain as the spring green starts moving across it 💚🌳 What things have made you happy this week? #authorofinstagram #authorpreneur #authorlife #wvauthor #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvwriter #southernwv #flowerstagram #maryhigginsclarkbooks
I’m a week behind in my weekly things to be happ I’m a week behind in my weekly things to be happy about post. I’ve been nose-to-the-grindstone editing (did 12 hours straight on Thursday as I was coming down with a massive cold but met the deadline). Got to babysit our grandboy and although I don’t post pics of my kids/grandkids here, I’ll share a pic of his adorable hands 😍 And the #tulip pics of joy have begun! My orange and purple ones come out pretty early. Oh! And I found a hairstylist who works with curls, so that was great since I was looking like a poodle of late. And finally, I love #TheParisianAgency realty show on Netflix, and it just dropped! Anyone else watching it? #authorlife #authorsofig #wvauthor #westvirginia #westvirginiawriter #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #ilovebeingagrandma #curlyhair #silversisters #flowers

Love the sunshine!); 4) those pink stems of my peonies breaking out of the ground; and 5) supplying a very avid 13 yo reader with these signed #BarksandBeansCafe #mysteries to read 📚What made you happy this week? #wvwriter #wildandwonderfulwv #westvirginiaauthor #wvbooks #cozymysteries #cozymysteryauthor #flowersofinstagram #coffeeandbooks
Things that have made me happy this (and technical Things that have made me happy this (and technically part of last) week, installment 2. 1)🐶 my #borderdoodle Agatha got groomed so she can now see out her hair, 2) 🎮 my girl gamer gang and I entered a cheat code in #TombRaider2 to beat the monastery level and now have unlimited guns, ammo, and health (and grenades for my grenade launchers that easily take out the yetis and tigers we run into), 3) 🌮 my oldest daughter and I grabbed tasty Qdoba bowls that I ate while editing my mystery that I sent to interested agents, and 4) ❤️ my husband and I had a lovely date in which I got a tasty tiramisu for dessert. That’s my week and a half, how about you?
