Heather Blanton is the bestselling author of over twenty Christian Western Romances, including the highly rated and awarded "Romance in the Rockies" series.

She is a former journalist (back before they were all liars) and often weaves real history in among her fictional storylines. She loves exploring the American West, especially ghost towns and museums. She has walked parts of the Oregon Trail, ridden horses through the Rockies, climbed to the top of Independence Rock, and even held an outlaw's note in her hand (no, it wasn't a text from a politician--though that would count).

She grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina on a steady diet of Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and John Wayne Westerns. You know, back when men were men and women were women, and it didn't cost you your job to claim Jesus as your savior.
