Since winning a city-wide writing contest for elementary students in Ottawa, Canada, Heather Rath knew writing would be a major part of her life.  When she grew up, she was sequentially a reporter, editor of a weekly newspaper and a monthly business magazine before becoming head of communications for a
multi-national company.  During this time she edited, and contributed to, two anthologies of south western Ontario writers.  Her award-winning writing has been published widely over the years in various publications and some of her work for children has been translated into Braille. She is a member of  CANSCAIP   (Canadian Society of Children's Authors, Illustrators & Performers), the Canadian Authors Association, and Crime Writers of Canada.
