Heather Haven

Multi-award winning author, Heather Haven, writes humorous, noir, and romantic mysteries, short stories, and plays. The San Francisco Book Review calls her critically acclaimed Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries set in today’s Silicon Valley, “Strong work in the genre of the mystery/thriller.” The Persephone Cole Vintage Mysteries, dubbed “the perfect mystery” by Dan Poyntner’s Global Ebook Awards, is set in Manhattan circa 1942, our country’s entrance into WWII.
As the daughter of real-life Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus folk, Heather’s proudest achievement is winning the Silver IPPY for Best Mystery/thriller 2014 for Death of a Clown. During the golden age of the circus, her mother was a trapeze artist/performer and father, an elephant trainer. Heather brings the daily existence of the Big Top to life, embellished by her own murderous imagination.
