Heather Snow!

Heather Snow is a historical romance writer with a degree in Chemistry who found she much preferred creating chemistry on the page, rather than in the lab!

Luckily, she loves challenges…she just goes about solving them analytically.

She lives with her husband and two sons in the Midwest and truly hopes you find … Read more »

During a stint on the music end of things, she toured Canada fronting an all female rock band and after meeting her husband fell into married life.
