Smart Historical Romance With Just the Right Chemistry...
"The Chemist who can extract from his heart's elements compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called Love..."
Kahlil Gibran

Heather Snow is a historical romance writer with a degree in Chemistry who found she much preferred creating chemistry on the page, rather than in the lab. She is forever trying to wrangle her left and right brain to work together (some days with more success than others!), but if her two sides had to duke it out, left would win every time—which can be a creative challenge. Luckily, she loves challenges…she just goes about solving them analytically.
Heather is a member of the Romance Writers of America with affiliation in the Mid-America Romance Authors, Midwest Romance Writers and Hearts Through History Romance Writers chapters and holds a Bachelor's in Chemistry from the University of Missouri Kansas City. Her manuscripts have won several prestigious contests, including the Kiss of Death's Daphne du Maurier, Chicago North's Fire and Ice, Hearts Through History's Romance Through the Ages and the 2010 Best of the Best. Sweet Enemy was also a finalist in the 2010 Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart®.
One of Heather's favorite quotes is from Carl Jung, who said, "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." Her background in chemistry prepared her for writing romance better than one might think: There are rules to follow, and some you can break when you want to experiment. Historical romance, like science, requires careful research. Most chemical reactions require a catalyst to drive them, just like characters and each thing that happens between them require motivation to drive the story forward. Both chemistry and writing, if done well, involve a precise mixture of elements and careful manipulation to achieve that perfect reaction that makes you want to sigh with satisfaction.
Heather sincerely hopes you find her stories have just the right chemistry…
