Heather has been writing for years, as a journalist, blogger and experimenting with fiction as well, loving all aspects of the written word - reading and writing. She has held the position of writer, editor and contributer to a variety of publications.

She has a Journalism degree and a background in Comparitive Literature and has also been involved in education on both sides - as a teacher and now parent.

Heather's interests range from literature to education, from health and well being to travel, and she loves writing on all of them. She strongly believes that all of these things, along with a daily dose of chocolate, lead to an enriched, full life.
