About Heather
Heather was born in Edinburgh and now lives near London, where she works for a large university. She began writing poetry as a teenager, wrote throughout her degree, and continued once she began her career in science.
She finds inspiration from long train journeys to Scotland, learning obscure medical terminology, people watching, and documenting dead umbrellas. In her spare time she is a youth worker, podcast addict, and gamer who enjoys photography, films about superheroes, and good whisky.
