Heidi McCrary spent only forty years getting her first novel, Chasing North Star, written and published while working full-time and raising her children. With a fulfilling career in TV advertising now behind her, she now focuses on writing and enjoying life with her husband, Jon, while their two grown sons make their own way through life. Heidi lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and fills her non-writing days stiving to reach beyond mediocrity on the golf course and pickleball court and taking in all the beauty West Michigan has to offer.
