About Heidi

I'm an author of conspiracy, action adventure, romance books. In the criminal world--The McGee Crime Series; Save the Girls, Counterpart, El Tiburón, In the Crossfire of Revenge, and Piratessa. I've also written and published a biography for a Chief Engineer at Aerojet on the Apollo Program; Bringing Apollo Home. I recently published my first romcom, The Tattered Book.

My first screenplay, Piratessa, is based of the lead in my crime series--Sean McGee. My second screenplay is an Epic Christmas tale answering every question a child has about the legend of Santa. I've also written a romcom, The Tattered Book, about a main character falling in love with the person reading the book. The series--Aunt Jane's Nieces (set in 1906) is in the works with the first and second scripts completed. I have 2 blogs; Dashing and Bold Adventure, and Author H. Schussman.

I'm a retired physical therapist specializing in cognitive and psychiatric disorders in the elderly.

Unique traits: Calm, sensitive to others, analytical, creative, I love puppies and butterflies... lol
