Heather Preusser

Growing up in Maine, Heather Preusser read all the Nancy Drew mysteries. Every. Single. One. Now she writes her own mysteries featuring a hardboiled hedgehog detective and his tireless rodent sidekick solving animal antics at City Zoo. When she’s not writing or teaching, Heather bikes the European countryside, attempts to learn ridiculously long German words (Formfleischvorderschinken*, anyone?), and plays with her five-year-old, a budding boxitect. She and her family live in Colorado.

 

Heather earned a BA in English and art history from Williams College, an MA in education from the University of Colorado, and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Southern Maine. A National Writing Project fellow, Heather has seventeen years of experience teaching both middle and high school English. She is represented by Janine Le at JLLA.
