She is the author of the Tokyo Whispers series that includes Scandals of Tokyo, Talk of Tokyo, and Toast of Tokyo. Fluent in Japanese language, history, and culture, Heather earned a doctoral degree in cultural anthropology based on fieldwork research in Japan. She lives in Tokyo with her professor husband and two young daughters. In her free time, she can be found translating ancient Japanese poetry and observing the passing of seasons while sipping green tea. Just kidding, she has no free time. But she does watch something that makes her laugh while she does the dishes. Perennial obsessions include the weather forecast (she checks three different apps at least three times a day), Baltimore Ravens football (hometown obsession), and making smoothies that taste like candy bars. Feel free to chat her up about any of her obsessions, or, even better, about historical Japan—any era is fine, she loves them all. She also enjoys exchanging book recommendations, discussions about the craft of romance writing, and stories about life in present-day Tokyo.
