Heather Fawcett is a Canadian fantasy novelist whose career spans adult, young adult, and middle-grade fiction. She lives on Vancouver Island and brings an unusually interdisciplinary background to her work, with a bachelor’s degree in archaeology and a master’s degree in English literature. In discussing her writing, she has linked that training to two lasting habits: a delight in research and an affection for the ornate textures of nineteenth-century fiction. She has also described a childhood shaped by Tolkien, folklore, and classic authors first introduced at home, influences that helped define the imaginative range of her later books.
