Gwendolyn Heasley
Gwendolyn Heasley is a graduate of Davidson College and the University of Missouri-Columbia where she earned her master’s degree in journalism. When she was a little girl, she desperately wanted to be the next Ann M. Martin- the author of the beloved The Baby-Sitter’s Club series. She’s incredibly grateful that the recession rendered her unemployed and made her chase her nearly forgotten dream. Her third novel Don't Call Me Baby comes out in April and her digital e-novella The Art of Goodbye (the sequel to Where I Belong) comes out in March.
She loves hearing from readers. Please email her at [email protected]
She now lives in Florida with her husband and baby girl.
“But really, all memories are like paintings: They can be incredibly vivid and lifelike. But in the end, they both just remind us that we only get to live any particular moment once, even if we remember it forever.”

“I thought it was who I was with or where I was that defined me in some way. I realize now that I decide who I am, no matter the company I keep or the place I am.”

“Happily ever after is not a place: It's a state of being, and you have to work at it every day.”

“Watch out for men who love something more than themselves or you. Their passion can be your prison.”

“Just because you're from a small town doesn't mean that you're small. Don't ever think anyone's more important than you are or has more valid experiences.”

“Vulnerability is a pretty scary thing. You can feel naked in a lot of different ways.”

“Sixth-grade sweethearts. Wow. New Yorkers only commit to that type of monogamy with the Yankees or Giants”

“Talking with Sweetbread, I wonder if that's what love is: the ability to go away and to come back again as if nothing has changed, even though everything has changed.”
