Heather Tomlinson

Heather Tomlinson grew up
in California and New
Hampshire, graduating from
Wellesley College with a
degree in French literature.
After teaching English in Paris,
and French in the U.S., she
worked at a book wholesaler.
Now she writes the kinds of
novels she likes to read.

In November 2006, Heather
moved onto the 48-foot
sailboat Adventure, with her
engineer husband and cats X,
Y, and Z.

When not writing, she can be
spotted reading on deck,
catching up on the (endless)
list of boat chores, or exploring
foreign ports.
