THE WRITER WHEN FINISHED–PALE, LACKING MAKEUP OR RECENT HAIRCOLOR, BUT SMUG NONETHELESS

I am tempted to write this entire post in caps, because I am definitely shouting inside. Months have passed, exactly how many, I’m not sure, but at least six. And my historical fiction book on an awesome Viking woman named Gudrid is now done. Writers keep so much bottled up, pouring forth their imaginatory prowess into their works, that when… Read More

Hi, I’m Heather…

I write contemporary mysteries and Viking historicals. Born and brought up in the mountains of West Virginia, I enjoy writing about small towns, family relationships, and women who aren't afraid to protect those they love. Read More…

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many things—good and bad as any state is—but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people “came back” to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you don’t want to let go of. I’m a #mountainmama, and I’m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
