Meet the Author

Growing up, I was an avid (rabid?) reader. I am a natural speed reader, regularly clocked at about 1200 wpm (I read Harry Potter 5 in just under three hours), and always have several books on the go and many more in e-book form on my Palm handheld.

I have always made up stories in my head, but never really thought I would be a writer. Instead, I intended to be a high school music teacher. I was sidetracked by my enjoyment of my psychology courses in university, and ended up with a psychology degree with a concentration in computer science.

This took me to a major Canadian bank as a software developer. I stayed there for just over three years, and then went back to school to become an elementary school teacher. After four years of fun teaching elementary school computer science, I took up the National Novel Writing Month challenge and attempted to write a novel in a month.

I succeeded, and the first draft of "Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo" was the result. I realized I love writing. I left teaching, and I haven't looked back since!

    Won't disappoint! MUST read

    Heather Wardell does it again! Another great page turner - I always know when I read one of her books I should just block enough time to finish the whole book in one sitting. Yes it is just that GOOD!

    Another great book by Heather!

    I love all of Heather's books. This book was no exception. It left me wanting to keep reading every spare minute I had throughout the day. If you enjoy Heather's other books, this is a must read as well. Great job Heather!!!

    Great read!

    I simply love Heather Wardell's work and just sigh in contentment every time I finish one of her books. Her writing is so fresh, so emotional without being heavy, that I live in a state of excited anticipation waiting for her next release.

    Blank Slate Kate was no different from my other favorite Wardell reads---I started reading and was immediately drawn in to the story, and found myself unable to put the book down. To read an entire book in one or two sittings as a working mother of a 9-month old is a true accomplishment, something that almost never happens for me anymore. Even books I love, series books I have been looking forward to for months (or longer), take me days to read now. But not Heather Wardell's books. There is just something about her writing that makes me unable to stop reading once I've started. I've just got to know what's going to happen next.

    Kate wakes up one morning having no idea of where she is, or even what year it is. She feels 17 but quickly realizes her body is much older. She soon learns that she is actually 32, but has no memory of the last 15 years of her life. Kate is taken in by Jake, who seems to be such an all-around good person---at first. Enter in a husband who Kate doesn't know, a domineering mother-in-law, and a thriving business that she remembers nothing about, and Kate has her work cut out for her. I loved living the journey to self-discovery with Kate.

    I really thought I knew how this book was going to end, but I was wrong. I was so wrong, and I love being surprised like that! Heather took the book in a direction I was not expecting at all. It was an unexpected ending and I enjoyed it more than the ending I had prepared myself for. I loved the character development and the love story. I love Heather's writing and pacing, which kept the book moving quickly. I would recommend Blank Slate Kate to just about anyone. Fans of chick lit will especially love it!

    she does it again!

    another great installment from Heather Wardell!! Heather keeps you in suspense until the very end hoping for a happy ending! For those who have been following the Toronto series, you won't be disappointed! The characters are well developed, pretty interesting considering one of them is uncertain of who she is! The book focuses on woman's struggle to identify herself and have love in her life. Blank Slate Kate runs the gambit of emotions with the reader. Read it, you won't be disappointed!!

    Not the author's best

    I'm a big fan of this author, however this book just didn't work for me. It felt as if the author was trying to throw too many elements into a single book. As a result, there wasn't very much character development making it difficult to connect with any of them.

    An even bigger flaw was that the main character's memory is gone back to the age of 17, making her that age emotionally as well. That said, the author moves her mentally into adulthood very quickly. This adjustment isn't even a main topic in the character's therapy sessions.

    All in all this book lacked what this author typically stellar at...telling a charming love story. I recommend skipping this book and enjoy one of her others.
