Heather lives on the gorgeous west coast of Scotland with her twin girls and husband Paul, although she is originally from Lancashire in the north of England. Before she started to write, she worked as a medical secretary for a few years, both in the medical and surgical departments.
With over fifty books now available on Amazon Kindle, Heather is fortunate enough to write full-time. Writing is her passion and never feels like work. She recently signed a contract with Boldwood Books for a four-part gangland series set on the fictional Gallowburn housing scheme in Glasgow. The first book in the series, Blood Brothers, was released on 8th December 2020.

The Family (2024)
Mandasue Heller
"It was terrifying! I kept thinking I'm so glad my husband's family isn't like this! Great writing with characters you love to hate. A frightening cautionary tale that stays with you after you've finished reading it, Mandasue Heller's at the top of her game."
