Author of over seventy books so far. Living on the beautiful west coast of Scotland with my husband, twin daughters and a cat called Mavis, although I am originally from Lancashire in the north of England.

My tastes in all things are eclectic, which extends to my writing. Although I primarily write crime books - especially gangland thrillers - I also write gothic historical romance and fantasy. I publish on Amazon Kindle and some of my novels are available in paperback too. I also have a traditional publishing contract with Boldwood Books.

When I'm not writing - which isn't very often - I enjoy reading Daphne Du Maurier, Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, MR James and the Brontes, among many others. I also enjoy swimming, walking and spending time with my family.

Brilliant read once again from the amazing Heather Atkinson. This is the 8th dividing line book in the series and it just gets better and better it had me hooked from page 1. If you haven't tried this series i recommend you do and you will not be disappointed as heather is a talented writer who can turn her hand at many different genres. Well done Heather on another excellent book 5*s every time!!

A definite page Turner

I'm really enjoying the way life has been for Ryan and Rachel and their family since their move to Devon. Life is certainly not boring for them. They keep getting pulled back into the gangster lifestyle that the Law. and Maguire family lead. Poor Jules has a nasty experience in this book too. So much going on but easy to follow and enjoy. I can't wait to start the next one to see what happens.

Another great read in Dividing line series!! The war will never end and I don’t want this series to end. Heather Atkinson is a fantastic writer. She manages to keep the reader wanting more at the end of every book.

This book was good to say it's number eight in the series . The laws have the luck of the devil and I think maybe there isn't a lot left to go with more in this series but I hope I'm wrong and Heather does more as I've thoroughly enjoyed these books
