More About the Author

New York Times and USA Today best selling author, Heather Graham was born somewhere in Europe and kidnapped by gypsies when she was a small child. She went on to join the Romanian circus as a trapeze artist and lion tamer. When the circus came to South Florida, she stayed, discovering that she preferred to be a shark and gator trainer.

Not really.

Heather is the child of Scottish and Irish immigrants who met and married in Chicago, and moved to South Florida, where she has spent her life. (She has, at least, been to the Russian circus in Moscow, where she wished she was one of the incredibly talented and coordinated trapeze artists.) She majored in theater arts at the University of South Florida. After a stint of several years in dinner theater, back-up vocals, and bartending, she stayed home after the birth of her third child and began to write. Her first book was with Dell, and since then, she has written over one hundred and fifty novels and novellas including category, suspense, historical romance, vampire fiction, time travel, occult, horror, and Christmas family fare.

She is pleased to have been published in approximately twenty-five languages, and has had over seventy-five million books in print. She has been honored with awards from Walden Books, B. Dalton, Georgia Romance Writers, Affaire de Coeur, Romantic Times, the Lifetime Achievement Award from RWA and more. Heather has also become the proud recipient of the Silver Bullet from Thriller Writers. Heather has had books selected for the Doubleday Book Club and the Literary Guild, and has been quoted, interviewed, or featured in such publications as The Nation, Redbook, Mystery Book Club, People and USA Today and appeared on many newscasts including Today, Entertainment Tonight and local television.

Heather loves travel and anything that has to do with the water, and is a certified scuba diver. She also loves ballroom dancing. Each year she hosts the Vampire Ball and Dinner theater at the RT convention raising money for the Pediatric Aids Society and in 2006 she hosted the first Writers for New Orleans Workshop to benefit the stricken Gulf region. She is also the founder of "The Slush Pile Players", presenting something that's almost like entertainment for various conferences and benefits. Married since high school graduation and the mother of five, her greatest love in life remains her family, but she also believes her career has been an incredible gift, and she is grateful every day to be doing something that she loves so very much for a living.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not great, August 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Matter Of Circumstance (Paperback)
I just recently started reading Heather Graham's books. Everyone one of them I have loved and wanted to re-read, however; A Matter Of Circumstance leaves me a little disappointed. It could have been that I just expected too much. That, I will let you decide.

The book has romance, suspense and thrills, what more could one ask for. The romance was wonderful, but not totally beleivable. I enjoyed both main characthers, but felt there was something missing. I felt the story was a little rushed.

The book had a wonderful and humorous ending that made me smile. I don't think I could ever dislike one of Heather Grahams books, but, honestly, this was not one of my favorites. I guess they can't all be, can they.

4.0 out of 5 stars HOW THE BEACH GOT INTO SEANS EYES, March 8, 2002
By 
Beverly C. Sanders (USA, Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Matter Of Circumstance (Paperback)
A matter of circumstance--he happens to be there, she happens to be there-love bloomes. Ever wondered when the "matter of circumstance" would land you the best love of your life. Amanda Blayne needs not bother her pretty little head with such matters of the heart for she has landed her man under this very circumstance.

Amanda Blayne was walking along the beach shore one day when from nowhere she is abducted and motorboated to some far and distant island. She pines her time away until unsuspected Sean Ramiro (undercover cop observes the crime) takes off to defend her. He risk everything to save the beautiful woman he had admired strolling on the beach. One thing leads to another and before you know it they are in bed together.

Just think, but for "circumstance" they may never have met since they really were from two different worlds. Amanda nor Sean had NO intentions of reaching out to anyone at the time of the incIdent. But, LOVE, has a way of making decisions that had not be previously entertained.

Before love could blossom, Amanda and Sean had many hurtles to overcome, not the the least was, to get free from the abductors. They finally do and decide to love each other ever after. You will have to read to learn what the obstacles were and how they happen to fall in love. (Smiles)--By Beverly C. Sanders
