Heather M. Gardner's love of books began on the hand-woven rugs of her small town library where her mother worked. There she had a never-ending supply of stories to read at her fingertips. As a teen, her favorite genres to curl up with were romance and mysteries. She loves to read about realistic and interesting characters and when she couldn’t find them on the shelf, she started to write her own.

Heather lives in the state of New York with her husband and son, working part-time, writing, volunteering, and ignoring the dust bunnies in the corner. She’s currently owned by one bitey, yet adorable, rescue dog and two rescue kittens that only go two speeds, Asleep and Ridiculous Speed. She’s a chocolate enthusiast, coffee junkie, pet addict, book hoarder, and fluent in sarcasm.
