About Heather

Born in Los Angeles, Heather was raised in the San Fernando Valley. Writing poetry and stories as a young girl, she began exploring modern stories of women overcoming trauma.

Her debut women’s fiction novel, FUCHSIA PARADE, won multiple awards following the journey of a racy and successful businesswoman who gets raw and vulnerable as she navigates repressed traumas. 

GRATITUDE HAPPENS released in February of 2024, following Angeleno Chrissie Demata as she learns to reparent herself after facing the limits of her mother's love. 

She’s currently working on DARLA, a 2-book YA/Women’s Fiction series about a young girl growing up in poverty in rural Arkansas who escapes the harshness of her reality through books.

  • “The type of central female character that great feminist novels are made of—complicated, flawed, badass, powerful, yet tender and compassionate upon further reveal through layers of story. Within the first few chapters of ‘FUCHSIA PARADE’, we come to know Kailee as a heavy drinker, hard partying woman, well-connected socialite, and someone who has the type of self-confidence we all wish was instilled into us growing up as girls,”

  • Writer’s Digest called FUCHSIA PARADE exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. “Overall, I loved [the author’s] style. This story was told in a first person voice, which isn’t always easy to do, but especially not when the topic can be so difficult all on its own. I thought she handled it with grace where called for, and laid out a story that would be relatable and appealing to tons of different readers.”

    WRITER'S DIGEST

  • “An intriguing and powerful book. From the get-go, the author pulls the reader into the beautifully flawed life of the main character and takes the reader on a journey filled with sarcasm, sex, alcohol, success, truth, and healing. This book will be hard to put down and will leave you wanting more in the end.”
