Meet Heather D. Glidewell — author of the Warden Series, co-author of The Crimson Legacies, and a storyteller drawn to the darker corners of fantasy where the supernatural and the emotional collide. Known for works such as The Cursed Romance of Time & Death and The Wardens Legacies: Ancient Blood, Heather crafts immersive worlds filled with mystery, power, and haunting beauty.
Born in the Midwest, raised in the South, and now living in Phoenix, Arizona, Heather’s life journey mirrors the layered landscapes of her writing. By day, she works as a financial analyst; by night — usually very late at night — she brings her stories to life, weaving urban fantasy, gaslamp fantasy, and dark fantasy infused with personal experience and supernatural twists.
A devoted mother of two, Heather balances creativity and family life alongside her growing menagerie, which includes three beloved hamsters and a cherished feline companion named Jean. When she’s not writing, she enjoys horror movies, heavy metal, and video games — passions that often influence the mood and tone of her work.
Heather’s stories explore legacy, identity, struggle, and transformation, blending real-life emotion with fantastical elements that linger long after the final page.
