About Heather

Heather was born in Utah but, as the daughter of an oil man, grew up traversing the globe. She is grateful for the opportunities she had to swim beaches from South America to the Middle East, climb the steps of the Roman Coliseum, and walk the same path Jesus trod in Jerusalem.

She lived in the Middle Eastern region for several years, attending junior high and high school on opposite sides of the Arabian/Persian Gulf (the gulf name changed depending on whether she was living in Kuwait or Iran, and her mail had to reflect that). In 1967, while her father remained in Kuwait to work for the summer, Heather, her mother Loya, and sisters Skye and September flew home via the unexpectedly blacked-out Cairo airport, and their plan took off mere moments before the airport was bombed to begin the Six-Day War (and prompting her father to send a panicked Telex to Rome to make sure they arrived safely).

Though she worked for years as a secretary and medical transcriptionist, and owned several businesses (her favorite being Adventureland Video), she has always wanted to write and share what she has learned. She loves movies, and her favorite is Enchanted (and she throws Enchanted parties where friends will be served dinner and then watch the movie, wearing lots of jewelry and dollar-store feather boas).

Heather has kind of a split personality--she has always read diversely and writes the same way. Since her books are so different, and since the readers of one type of book may not care for the other types of books she writes, she has added middle initials to make it easy to spot which type of book to expect. Perhaps it would help to share the slogans of each with you (and, of course, the M. stands for Murder & Mayhem and the L. for Love & Laughter).

She meets monthly with her conspiracy group (you know, two or more people plotting together) and they plot an entire book in a day (they’ve done thirty so far).

Heather strives to write entertaining tales that usually have a variation on the message of forgiveness. Especially in Women and Men Who Knew The Mortal Messiah, she shares stories of Jesus and the healing power of His Atonement. She is now beginning work on stories of women from the Old Testament.

When she’s not writing, Heather enjoys spending time with her family, volunteering at her church, playing the piano, and watching good movies and reading good books--through which she can travel again to exotic locales or even through time to other incredible eras.

Heather lives in Utah with her hunky husband Mark and their two youngest sons.
