About the author

Heather Macht's always had a niche for storytelling. Ever since she was a young girl, she'd spend her free time writing imaginative stories for friends and family.

In the third grade, Macht recalls often getting scolded for turning her English and Science class' writing assignments into creative stories. Even though her teachers often frowned at her "unnecessary" imagination, her classmates enjoyed and encouraged her writings.

As an adult, her passion for writing and her imagination has grown and taken off. Macht is the author of The Ant Farm Escape! (Pelican, 2019), Rex the...We-Don't-Know (Pelican, 2020) and You May Just Be a Dinosaur (Pelican, 2015).

Macht has a degree in Fine Arts, her other passion, is a volunteer judge, Assistant Administrator, and Newsletter Coordinator for Rate Your Story, and is also an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. She's happily married and currently resides in Florida. When she's not writing, Macht enjoys painting, reading poetry, watching scary movies, and spending time with her husband and children.
