About Heather Ames

A lifetime of travel and new experiences infuse her work

Picture
Heather Ames writes two mystery/suspense series, standalone suspense, romantic suspense, and short contemporary romances. When she’s not writing, she’s either thinking up new plots, traveling the world, or dreaming up new adventures.

She’s lived in five countries and seven states, hitchhiked around Europe, spent a year in a sixth-floor walk-up in Paris with a view of the Eiffel Tower, traveled by planes, trains, automobiles and ocean-going liners, and worked as a bartender in Madrid, Spain. She also spent seven years as a military spouse and has two children, one born in Spain, the other in North Carolina.

During a long career in healthcare, she carried pepper spray and mace in her bag for home health visits in the barrios and projects of Los Angeles, encountered a loaded gun under a pillow and a shotgun behind a front door. She prepared reports for a medical examiner on DOAs in an ER, was in the witness box at a murder trial, and has seen more dead and/or mangled bodies than the average person. Her personal life has frequently strayed far from a sedate walk in the park, too.

As a result, her novels are filled with flawed characters who deal with challenging situations in ways that offer resolutions that aren’t always neatly cut and dried. Like real life.
