About the Author

Heather C. Hudak

Heather C. Hudak has worked as a professional writer for more than two decades. She began her career as a journalist with a small northern newspaper, before working as a movie critic for an entertainment magazine. When she arrived at work one day and the doors were locked, she started a new chapter in children's book publishing. Heather develops, writes, and edits of books for the educational market. Her first full-length, young adult novel, Breathless, has sold more than 30,000 copies worldwide. Wanderlust, the second title in The Cordelia Chronicles series, was released in 2011, and the third title, Life's Blood was released for the 2012 holiday season. When Heather is not writing, she enjoys traveling to new and exotic places, as well as camping in the mountains. She captures the essence of her adventures on www.wanderlustwayfarer.com. With her husband, Heather rescues animals that would not otherwise find a loving home. Hershey, the one-eyed, blind, epileptic, snaggle-toothed cat, and Turtle, a sternumless Siamese, are just a few members of their menagerie.
