Hi - I'm a novelist, amateur genealogist, and lover of history. I live in Southern California, and my passion is writing historical fiction. When I'm not writing or doing research, I'm gardening and dealing with Mother Nature who seems to have a thing for adding weeds to my garden. Lots and lots of weeds.

I would love to hear from you with comments about my books or writing in general: paustinheaton@gmail.com

Happy Reading!!!
