About

Heather Rigney lives with her small family in Rhode Island and likes to make stuff—stuff with words, stuff with paint, stuff that’s pretty and stuff that’s not. She’s happiest when she’s creating. A former NBCT art teacher she re-discovered writing through an educational workshop offered at her school and subsequently remembered that her junior high yearbook status stated that she wanted to grow up and become a novelist. She’s now re-pursuing that goal while raising the most important thing she ever created—her daughter. In the fall of 2011, Heather completed her first novel, THE LOCK-IN, and opened a shop on etsy.com where she sells  her stuff. On her birthday in 2012, (September 24--just in case you wanted to celebrate with her on that day in the future. Presents in the form of donuts, StarBucks, and Star Wars stuff is not necessary but always well received…) she was thrilled to be included in the anthology DIVE: A Quartet of Merfolk Tales. It is available through Amazon. Heather still gets a small thrill when she types her name into the Amazon search bar and something she wrote comes up...that and Heather Graham. Being associated with a babe isn't all that bad either.

You can visit her blog here anytime. It's open 24/7 and so is her shop where you can buy her art. Thanks for stopping by, dear reader.
