Heather Rosser

Heather Rosser has always had a love of history and family memoir. Her First World War novel, In the Line of Duty, is based on her grandfather’s experiences as a sea-plane pilot. It is set in London and North Wales where the family built a holiday home in 1912 and the area is still one of Heather’s favourite places to visit.

In the Line of Duty was shortlisted for the RNA Joan Hessayon debut novel award.

Heather began her writing career when she took time out from teaching English in a college in NE Nigeria to write about local childrearing customs.

When she lived in Botswana she became a stringer for a national newspaper as well as writing articles for British magazines.

Since moving to Oxford, Heather has written text books for schools in Africa and the Caribbean and is currently working on a memoir of her time in Nigeria.
