Heidi Goodchild

About Heidi Goodchild

After a lifetime of using fantasy as an escape from the stresses of the real world, I’ve recently discovered that I, too, am a builder of worlds and of characters.

As a lover of nature and the universe, the worlds I envision must be possible -- plausible -- making sense both intuitively and scientifically.

As a studier of personalities, the characters I breathe life into must be real people that grow with their experiences, both good and bad.

And as an observer of cultures, the way my characters interact must have context and meaning.

Finally, as an inhabiter of the spiritual world, the stories I tell are five-dimensional.

Come, you are invited. Step into my characters’ shoes and walk their paths for a while.

Climb inside my characters’ minds -- hear their voices, see their challenges and fight their battles with them. I warn you, though -- you might discover something new about yourself in the process.

Oh, you want to know something about me, not just my writing? Well, then...

Having travelled to at least 27 countries (I may have missed one or two in the counting as I wasn’t keeping track) I have lived in the Midlands for 25 years, and in the UK for nearly 35 (although my accent still gives away the fact that I originally come from ’across the pond.’)

My high-energy, long-suffering husband still doesn’t understand how I can sit and “do nothing” in front of the computer all day!
