Heather Dawn Gray

There are two different sides to Heather Dawn Gray's writing. Some might call it an inability to focus, she calls it the need to explore creativity from different angles.

On one hand she fashions genealogical fiction out of the real stories behind genetic testing. Her crime fiction novels offer a new perspective on how a DNA test changes lives. A career in medical laboratory medicine and her own results from a genetic test, inspired Heather to write three novels exploring the current phenomenon of DNA testing. And there just may be at least one more genealogical crime fiction novel percolating behind the scenes.

On the other hand, Heather also writes children's books based on the real life of her grand-dog Maddie, who suddenly went blind at four years old. Despite her challenges, Maddie approaches each day with a smile in her heart and a belief that anything is possible. Through these children's books, Maddie continues to remind adults and children alike, that even the darkest day can be the best day ever.

Currently residing in Canada, Heather writes and explores wherever her heart and budget take her.
