Always an avid reader, Heidi was inspired to write by her college professor, who convinced her to switch majors to English. From then on, she harbored a secret wish to write a novel one day. Heidi spent most of her marketing career as a consultant specializing in fresh produce where she worked with a variety of growers, commodity boards, and associations. Her marketing campaigns received multiple awards.

Sea Magic is her debut novel and the first of the Hidden Gems series which was also a finalist in the 2022 Page Turner Awards. Originally from New Jersey, Heidi lives in Oviedo, Florida with her husband, Tim Lee, and their dog Pumpkin. She loves coffee, chocolate, yoga and visiting historical places.

To be honest, I actually enjoy editing more than writing. The blank screen (or page) is intimidating especially when I’m first starting a book. But when I finish that dreaded first draft, I become a sculptor which is where I shine.

I get to add more detail when needed, cut copy that doesn’t quite fit right or reshape what should change. It’s an intuitive process and I really enjoy honing my skills. (less)

I’ve always been a late bloomer, so I didn’t start writing fiction until I turned 47. My advice would be to trust your instincts and don’t worry about the latest genre trend. Write about topics that you feel passionate about and don’t let other people’s opinions change who you are as a writer. (less)

Nora Ephron
