Heather Blackmore works in finance and accounting for technology startups, where she puts in her two cents then counts them. In a seemingly counter intuitive move, she got her MSA and CPA with the goal of one day working part-time so she could write. Her first novel, Like Jazz, was the result of finally, if briefly, living that dream.

Heather is married and lives in California. She spends much of her leisure time reading and writing, interspersed with an occasional burst of exercise. She enjoys theater, traveling, and hiking. When she's home, a four-legged friend is always nearby.
