Heather McCorkle

Heather is an award winning author paranormal, steampunk, and historical who is represented by Nicole Resciniti of the Seymour Agency.   Becoming a published author has been a life-long goal that she has known she wanted since she was twelve. At that age, she wrote her first book and has been writing ever since. The path to where she is now as an author has been wrought with detours and road blocks, but she stayed the course and finally partnered with two agents and ultimately signed with one of them. When she is not writing, editing, or designing book covers and websites, she can be found on the slopes, the hiking trails, or paddle boarding. As a native Oregonian, she enjoy the outdoors nearly as much as the worlds she creates on the pages. No need to travel to the Great Northwest though, you can find her on her website and her many social networking sites. You can also find her the first Monday night of every month at 6:00 pm PT on the #WritersRoad chat on Twitter. She is the co-creator and moderator of the chat.Entertaining readers, protecting endangered species, and uncovering stories and points of view that haven't been covered are her passions. Because she loves making the dreams of others come true, she is also an Acquistions Editor with City Owl Press(submission guidelines are here), an up and coming new press out of New York. She is also a cover designer for both publishers and independent authors. She does limited freelance work through her company McCorkle Creations, which includes not only covers, but swag designing (bookmarks, business cards, postcards), and occassionally formatting.
