She fell completely in love with writing while taking creative writing courses with Athabasca University. Motivated by her university success, and a life-long dream of becoming a novelist, she later enrolled in the Humber School for Writers under the mentorship of David Adams Richards. Her first literary novel, Goody Bledsoe, was published in 2006 by Oberon Press. While still writing literary (mostly in the young adult genre), she is beyond thrilled to be writing paranormal young adult fiction with Norah Wilson. Having an unapologetic fascination with the paranormal and spiritual, she loves exploring supernatural themes through the Wilson Doherty YA characters and dark tales. Heather lives with her husband and two (amazing!) sons in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
