Heidi was born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, the fourth child of a London fireman. She began writing fiction over twenty years ago. After winning several short story competitions, she published two books: Bradley Pluck and the Skydrivers (2006) and Frogleboggleyes (2006), both aimed at 7-11 year olds.
Heidi says: "I am not an academic. I excelled at English in school and I write in the same style as I speak. No elaboration, no PhDs, just the way I see it. Writing about sex and psychological suspense is rewarding, exhilarating and mischievous. I can crawl between the pages of my book and have a ball. The sheer magic of literature provides escapism and self worth. I write for my pleasure and I hope people enjoy reading Lilian Snipe as much as I have enjoyed writing it."
