Heather Waldorf

Heather Waldorf was born in Ottawa and raised in small-town Eastern Ontario. She now lives in Toronto with Moose, a twelve-year-old golden retriever. Heather is addicted to green tea, jigsaw puzzles, mystery novels and the TV show Bones. Also a lover of the great outdoors, she's never written a novel that doesn't, at some point, put the main character in a canoe.

Heather received her fine arts degree from York University and her adult education degree from Brock University. She is a full-time counselor at a North York group home for adults with developmental disabilities. Heather's experience as a social worker and her passion for the outdoors inspired her to write Fighting the Current, her first book for young adults.
